’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

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.

reported in September.

The Trump administration has neither denied nor publicly acknowledged the policy changes.
