The growing ubiquity of drones means that they are more readily
available for both terrorists and civilians to use. At the same time,
the military use of drones has globalised. Yet regulations for their
international use, both military and domestic, are sparse and lacking
in clarity, and most books on the legality of drones tend to be
written by journalists or activists. Drones and the Law:
International Responses to Rapid Drone Proliferation presents a fresh,
scholarly perspective on the increasingly complex relations between
drone usage and international and privacy law. Combining expert
insights into strategy, international law, international humanitarian
law, targeted killing, ethics, and privacy, Vivek Sehrawat offers an
important historical and context for understanding how drone usage has
become widespread; investigates how international law and
international humanitarian law on the use of force interact with the
rapid proliferation of military drones; and outlines how civilian use
of drones poses specific challenges to national privacy laws in large
countries such as the UK, the USA, and India. Throughout, Sehrawat
discusses potential world policies for drone strikes and counter
terrorism and debunks myths about current drone capabilities and the
law regarding drone usage, making this book a useful and timely
addition to the growing literature on drones and the law. For its
rigorous legal research that offers a precise, accurate, and
authoritative account of the legal challenges posed by rapid drone
proliferation, Drones and the Law is a must-read for students and
scholars of law and international relations.
