Beschreibung
Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2017 in the subject Politics - Topic: Public International Law and Human Rights, grade: 2,0, University of Kent (Brussels School of International Studies), language: English, abstract: The use of drones opens a new chapter in the law of armed conflict (LAC) and International humanitarian law (IHL). The hypothetical scenario for the sake of argument will be: An Al Qaida leader who has been taking part in combat is found in the streets of Kabul. He is surrounded by civilians, and he is wearing civilian clothing himself and is not currently involved in combative activities. A targeted killing through a drone strike is possible but would bring civilian causalities with it. This case brings with itself several legal issues, which will be explored in this paper.
