On February 28, 2014, Ben Emmerson, the UN Human Rights Council Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms while countering terrorism, submitted the third annual report [3] to the Human Rights Council. The report details his key activities, and “examines the use of remotely piloted aircraft, or drones, in extraterritorial lethal counter-terrorism operations, including in the context of asymmetrical armed conflict, and allegations that the increasing use of remotely piloted aircraft, or drones, has caused disproportionate civilian casualties, and makes recommendations to States.” The report also contains several conclusions of the Special Rapporteur, including that States should disclose the results of fact-finding inquiries, provide as much information as possible about strikes that took place on their territory, and respond to his request for consensus on the applicable legal principles. The report finally contains a recommendation that the Human Rights Council adopt a resolution urging states to comply with international law when taking measures to counter terrorism.
