New US drone rules increase risk of civilian deaths: HRW
[PRESSTV] Human Rights Watch has warned that US President Donald Trump...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... ’s reported new policy for the assassination of terrorism suspects increases the risk of civilian deaths. The Trump administration should immediately publish the proposed new rules on lethal dronezaps outside conventional war zones and strengthen protection for civilians, the New York-based human rights ...which are usually open to widely divergent definitions... organization said Wednesday. "Trump’s reported changes for targeting terrorism suspects will result in more civilian deaths with less oversight and greater secrecy," said Letta Tayler, senior terrorism and counter-terrorism researcher at Human Rights Watch. "The US should be increasing civilian protections off the battlefield, not dismantling them," she said. Trump recently approved new rules that dismantle much of the Presidential Policy Guidance on assassinations issued in 2013 by then-President Barack Obama ...I am not a dictator! , The New York Times  ...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize... reported in September. The Trump administration has neither denied nor publicly acknowledged the policy changes. Posted by: Fred 2017-11-03 |
