Tara Murray: These attacks are illegal – until Obama declares war

Friday, 1 July 2011

There exists no legal justification for Barack Obama's use of drones in Pakistan and other states where there is no declared war. Yet his Administration, in an effort to justify its behaviour, has argued that because the US is at war with al-Qa'ida, the Taliban and associated forces it may "use ... lethal force, to defend itself" and it is "not required to provide targets with legal process before the state may use lethal force."

This absurd rationalisation mimics the self-serving arguments behind the discredited US detention and interrogation policies at places including Guantanamo Bay, Abu Ghraib, and in CIA black sites across eastern Europe. The Administration has also failed to address crucial legal issues, most notably including who exactly may be targeted by the drones and what is the precise scope of the conflict. Instead, the Obama Administration has attempted to ward off the human rights community by keeping the drone programme shrouded in secrecy.

Philip Alston, as UN Special Rapporteur on Extrajudicial, Summary or Arbitrary Executions, has condemned the "continuing refusal ... to provide the international community with the information that would satisfy its obligations in relation to transparency and accountability" and cautioned that the US role as "the most enthusiastic and prolific proponent of targeted killings" would result in "grave damage ... to the legal framework that the international community has so painstakingly constructed to protect the right to life."

But the Administration cannot keep the law at bay for much longer. Reprieve has partnered with Pakistani lawyer Shahzad Akbar to bring civil and criminal litigation for families of drone victims. If the illegality fails to prick President Obama's conscience, the emergence of evidence in various courts just might.

Chinese navy sends escort fleet to Gulf of Aden

BEIJING, July 2 (Xinhua)-- The ninth group of Chinese navy escort ships left the Zhanjiang Port in southern China's Guangdong Province on Saturday for the Gulf of Aden and waters off Somalia on an escort mission, the Ministry of Transport said.

The new fleet, comprising the destroyer Wuhan, and the frigate Yulin, as well as the supply ship Qinghaihu, will replace a flotilla sent earlier to guard against pirates, according to a statement on the ministry's website.

The fleet is armed with two helicopters and carries a total of 878 seamen and officers on board, including dozens of Marine Corps.

The destroyer Wuhan and the frigate Yulin will arrive in the Gulf of Aden and the waters off Somali after they participate in an international defense exhibition in Brunei, according to the statement.

To date, the Chinese navy fleets have escorted 3,968 ships from countries all over the world and rescued 40 ships attacked by pirates.
