Living Under Drones: a case study of drone practices in the context of international human rights and conflict resolution

An interesting 2012 study from Stanford Law School's IHRCRC and the NYU Global Justice Clinic.  The paper scrutinizes the accuracy of sources documenting drone strike locations and statistics, examines human rights  issues related to drone strikes, and questions the legitimacy of targeted strikes versus traditional just war sovereignty.

(Note:  for international context, The Breaking of Nations (Robert Cooper) is a must read with regard to the risks of continuing to advocate drones as the new military industrial complex paradigm.)
