U.S. Drone Attacks

The UN has warned the U.S. that it may be violating international law by using unmanned drones to attack suspected terrorists in Pakistan Afghanistan. They state that the U.S. violates international law by using these drones to commit arbitrary executions, and they demand the U.S. to explain the reason why they should be allowed to continue. In defense, the U.S. has stated that such laws do not go into effect while there is an armed conflict happening.

The UN is just being wary that the U.S. is not carrying out executions that it otherwise couldn't without a war.

Since August of last year over 600 people have been killed by the drone attacks and in recent months.
