dc.description.abstractThe following article provides an ethical appraisal of the use of armed drones within the Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan by the Central Intelligence Agency through the prism of Just War theory. This paper argues that the inability of the United States to conduct these strikes in an ethical manner stems from an utter lack of transparency surrounding the program, and by extension the Central intelligence Agency's ability to employ lethal force unilaterally. Furthermore, this paper critiques the standard discourse surrounding the negative impact these drone strikes have had on US security interests. This analysis makes several policy recommendations to both the United States and Pakistan to improve ethical outcomes of future drone operations.
