Exploring the doctrinal discourse of pre-emption vis-a-vis the US drone attacks against terrorists in Pakistan, the book shows that the debate surrounding this discourse encapsulates crucial tensions between the permission and limits of the right of self-defence. Drawing from the long history of God-given and man-made laws of war, this book employs positivism as a legal frame to explore and explain the doctrine of pre-emption and analyse the doctrine of the state's rights to self-defence as it stretches into peremptory or preventive use of force. The book investigates why the US chose the recourse to pre-emption through the use of combat drones in the 'war on terror' and whether there is a potential future for the pre-emption of terrorism through combat drones. The author argues that the policy to 'kill first' is easy to adopt however, any disregard for the web of legal requirements surrounding the policy has the potential to undercut the legal claims of an armed act. The book enables the framing and analysis of such controversies in legal terms as opposed to a choice between law and policy. An examination of the legal dilemma concerning drone warfare, this book will be of interest to academics in the field International Relations, Asian Politics, South Asian Studies and Security Studies, in particular global security law, new wars and emerging technologies of warfare"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Terrorism $x Law and legislation $x Law and legislation $z United States. 650 0 $a Drone aircraft $x Law and legislation $z United States. 650 0 $a Targeted killing $x Government policy $z United States. 650 0 $a Bombing, Aerial $z Pakistan. 650 0 $a Terrorism $z Pakistan. 650 0 $a Uninhabited combat aerial vehicles (International law) 650 0 $a Air warfare (International law) 650 7 $a Air warfare (International law) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00802719 650 7 $a Bombing, Aerial. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00835808 650 7 $a Drone aircraft $x Law and legislation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01941225 650 7 $a Terrorism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01148101 650 7 $a Terrorism $x Law and legislation. $x Law and legislation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01765505 650 7 $a Uninhabited combat aerial vehicles (International law) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01911279 651 7 $a Pakistan. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210275 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 776 08 $i Electronic version: $a Ullah, Imdad. $t Terrorism and the US drone attacks in Pakistan. $d Abingdon, Oxon ; New York, NY : Routledge, 2021 $z 9781000372335 $w (OCoLC)1235762872 830 0 $a Routledge contemporary South Asia series. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231019012353.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=603A21ECE9E911EBBBC9467A3DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
