Drone strikes under jus ad bellum, jus in bello, and international human rights law  \nStuart Casey-Maslen*  \nDr Stuart Casey-Maslen is Head of Research at the Geneva Academy of International Humanitarian Law and Human Rights, specializing in weapons law and compliance with international norms by armed non-state actors.  \nAbstract  \nArmed drones pose a major threat to the general prohibition on the inter-state use of force and to respect for human rights. On the battlefield, in a situation of armed conflict, the use of armed drones may be able to satisfy the fundamental international humanitarian law rules of distinction and proportionality (although attributing international criminal responsibility for their unlawful use may prove a significant challenge). Away from the battlefield, the use of drone strikes will often amount toa violation of fundamental human rights. Greater clarity on the applicable legal regime along with restraints to prevent the further proliferation of drone technology are urgently needed.  \nKeywords: armed conflict, direct participation in hostilities, drone, human rights, international humanitarian law, law enforcement, targeted killing, unmanned aerial vehicle.  \n* The author would like to thank Professor Andrew Clapham, Professor Nils Melzer, and Bonnie Docherty for their comments on a draft of this article, and Alice Priddy for her background research.

They are not, and the use of that loaded term is misplaced. Assassinations are unlawful killings.  \nUS Attorney General, Eric Holder, 5 March 2012 1  \nOver the last ten years, the use of drones – unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or unmanned aircraft2 – for military and counterterrorism purposes has seen‘explosive growth’.3 For example, it is reported that in 2010, United States President Barack Obama’s administration authorized more than twice as many drone strikes in north-west Pakistan than it did in 2009 – ‘itself a year in which there were more drone strikes than during George W. Bush’s entire time in office’.4 By early 2012, the Pentagon was said to have 7,500 drones under its control, representing about one-third of all US military aircraft.5 Use of UAVs by police forces in connection with traditional law enforcement within a state’s borders has also been steadily growing, albeit at a lesser pace.6  \nDrones7 were first deployed on a significant scale for surveillance and reconnaissance in armed conflict by the United States of America: in Vietnam in  \n1 Speech to the Northwestern University School of Law, Chicago, 5 March 2012, available at: [http://www](http://www).
