https://www.justiceinfo.net/wp-content/uploads/Afghanistan-USA_military-drone_@Shah-Marai-AFP.jpg1200799Drone attacks are a common feature of contemporary wars – and growingly outside conflicts. In the past 20 years, the U.S. has carried out more than 91,000 drone strikes. They have killed between 22,000 and 48,000 civilians. Apologies for mistakes – such as the recent one by a U.S. general for a drone attack in Kabul last August – are rare. Someone’s pulling the trigger. But who makes the decision? Where is accountability? Who has it? Our partners at Asymmetrical Haircut have invited Jessica Dorsey and Aditi Gupta to discuss the lack of transparent rules and secrecy of states in deploying armed drones. “There are so many flaws in the system that you don’t have any means for the civilians on the ground to report on allegations that harmed themselves.”
