Drones and Targeted Killing: Legal, Moral and
Geopolitical Issues
Edited by Marjorie Cohn
(Interlink Books, £15.99)
THIS book targets particular aspects of — or dilemmas posed by — armed drones, with its contributors tackling the moral, legal and geopolitical issues raised by the production and use of this new weapon.
Most chapters relate to the US use of battle drones in the Iraq and Afghanistan theatres of war and in countries where the US is not currently engaged in military combat such as Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia. There are also contributions examining privacy issues associated with US surveillance drones and the legality of Israel’s use of armed drones to conduct extra-judicial killings.
