The UN Special Rapporteur on Counter-terrorism and Human Rights, Ben Emmerson, has released a statement declaring US drone strikes in Pakistan a violation of Pakistani sovereignty, and a contravention of international law. Emmerson has also claimed that the drone strikes are radicalizing certain segments of the population and may, therefore, be causing the very problem these counter-terrorist operations purport to eliminate. The statement is not expected to directly affect US policies regarding drone strikes.
