Editorial Reviews

Review

"This is an important book. As well as evaluating the illegality of the use of drones in Pakistan, Shah highlights the dangers of facilitating military intervention without consequences, whilst also bringing to the forefront the forgotten voices in this debate, the victims – whose voices have only recently been heard through improved political interest and strategic litigation." -Clive Stafford Smith OBE, founder and Director of Reprieve.

"Sikander Ahmed Shah has produced a substantial, powerful book on a most difficult and, one may say, disturbing topic. The book gives fair treatment to both sides of the argument as well as the 'convoluted' state of affairs in Pakistan, and no doubt will leave every conscientious reader with a heavy heart. One hopes that the same will be true with commanders and policy-makers, and that this will have a positive effect on their decision-making." -Changjiang Xuezhe, Professor of International Law and Chief Expert, Wuhan University Institute of Boundary and Ocean Studies and Institute of International Law, China, as seen in Chinese Journal of International Law (2016), 709?716



'This is an important book.

Clive Stafford Smith OBE, founder and Director of Reprieve.

'Shah has made a timely contribution to the debate on drones and international law, which is novel in its critical perspective but, more so, in its desire to highlight drones not simply as a question touching pure doctrinal law, but one with deep human, political and social implications. It is in that area that the strengths of the book lie. I would recommend this book to international lawyers dealing with armed conflict gen-erally but also to critical and Third World Approaches to International Law scholars grappling with questions of international governance and power.'

Max Byrne, University of Reading School of Law, Journal of Conflict and Security Law
