Pakistan Seeks UN Rights Body’s Help On Drone Strikes

Tehmina Janjua, Pakistan’s permanent representative at the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva highlighted the consequences of the sinister decision of drone strikes carried out in Pakistan endangering the life of many. She also reminded that the action of drone strikes is a breach of Pakistan’s territorial sovereignty and violates the UN Charter, international law, non-derogable human rights and humanitarian law itself, according to a press release issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Pakistan has constantly emphasized on this sensitive and crucial issue of armed drones or piloted aircrafts threatening the lifestyles of the nation, and also on taking account of the disruptive effects of illegal drone strikes.
