Waschefort, Gus Chengeta, Thompson UCTD American soldiers Drone killings Drone aircraft -- United States Targets (Shooting) -- United States Terrorists -- United States Video games -- United States -- Influence Right to life -- United States Prepared under the supervision of Mr Gus Waschefort at the International criminal court, The Hague, Netherlands Thesis (LLM (Human Rights and Democratisation in Africa)) -- University of Pretoria, 2011. Equally discomforting is the PlayStation mentality that surrounds drone killings. Young military personnel raised on a diet of video games now kill real people remotely using joysticks. Far removed from the human consequences of their actions, how will this generation of fighters value the right to life? How will commanders and policy makers keep themselves immune from the deceptively antiseptic nature of drone killings? Will killing be a more attractive option than capture? Will the standards of intelligence gathering justify a killing slip? Will the number of acceptable collateral civilian deaths increase? http://www.chr.up.ac.za/ nf2012 Centre for Human Rights LLM 2012-04-24T07:53:07Z 2012-04-24T07:53:07Z 2011/10/30 Dissertation Chengeta, T 2011/10/30, Are U.S drone targeted killings within the confines of the law?, LLM Text, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, viewed yymmdd <http://hdl.handle.net/2263/18610> http://hdl.handle.net/2263/18610 en University of Pretoria application/pdf University of Pretoria |
