A GERMAN court ordered the government today to ensure the United States does not use its territory to carry out drone strikes in Yemen.
Munster’s Higher Administrative Court ruled that the German government has a duty to protect the right to life of those targeted and that it should encourage Washington to respect international law.
The ruling marks the first time a European country has been found to be playing an essential role in legally dubious drone strikes by the US military.
