Essay from the year 2012 in the subject Politics - International
Politics - Region: USA, grade: A-, Webster University
(International Relations), course: The United States and its drone
program in Pakistan, language: English, abstract: The United States
of America's current lethal drone policy is still shrouded in
mystery and complexity: little official information is accessible
to the public. This document, therefore, could only raise a certain
number of issues. If there were a document detailing the said
policy, it could not be found. This paper has had to rely on other
various sources to expose the policy elements. It focuses on the
war theater in Pakistan/Afghanistan and the drone policy's lethal
elements. Firstly, the paper will delve into the development of the
U.S. drone program and the controversial use of an automatized
lethal process. Secondly, it will consider elements from the
political sphere that shaped the current policy. Thirdly, it will
analyze the implication of public opinion in Pakistan and the U.S.
Fourthly, the paper will highlight a few of the legal aspects that
influenced the drone policy before drawing a conclusion. The most
discussed element influencing the drone policy of the U.S has been
freely interpreted as the information relating to the matter
remains scarce and mostly unofficial. What looked, at first, like a
classic security versus democracy dilemma added to a member of the
U.S. intelligence community seemingly out of control, a Department
of Defense (DoD) with hardly any oversight, gave rise,
surprisingly, to a quite controlled but executive branch driven
process. One cannot ascertain however whether the safeguards in
place, were operative and respected whilst the lethal drone program
was progressing.
