Abstract
This article analyses the US’ policy of drone attacks in Pakistan. It
explores the claims and counter-claims about their effectiveness and the
charge that they are counterproductive. The issues regarding civilian
casualties, political consequences and limitations of the policy from the
human rights perspective, which outweighs any other consideration, are also
examined. The US should revisit its counterterrorism tactics and work
closely with other states like Pakistan as a partner in a common strategy to
combat terrorism while respecting human rights and the international law.
