"As a matter of international law, the US drone campaign in Pakistan
is ... being conducted without the consent of the elected
representatives of the people, or the legitimate Government of the
State," Ben Emmerson, the UN's special rapporteur on human rights and
counterterrorism, said in a statement issued by the Office of the High
Commissioner for Human Rights in Geneva on Friday.
"It involves the use of force on the territory of another state
without its consent and is therefore a violation of Pakistan's
sovereignty," he said.
