Use of drone strikes violates who's human rights? The terrorists and their families? What about the millions of Pakistanis denied basic human rights by the state? Laughable. Only our esteemed policy makers can be so retarded to make such a move. But nothing surprises anymore in regards to their actions. Carry on retards.

the right to life, which is non-derogable

List of Non-Derogable Rights and Freedoms under Article 4 of the ICCPR
List of Non-Derogable Rights and Freedoms
under Article 4 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights
PART III
Article 6
1. Every human being has the inherent right to life. This right shall be protected by law. No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his life.
2. In countries which have not abolished the death penalty, sentence of death may be imposed only for the most serious crimes in accordance with the law in force at the time of the commission of the crime and not contrary to the provisions of the present Covenant and to the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. This penalty can only be carried out pursuant to a final judgement rendered by a competent court.

Seeing both Pakistan and the US uphold the death penalty her argument is invalid, apart from trying to suport the human rights of a mass murdering thug being as stupid as getting into a spitting contest with a camel
