Drone Strike Visualization
With the first drone strike in 2002, The United States has conducted 374 drone strikes during their counterterrorism operations in Yemen.
“The growing use of weaponised drones risks destabilising global peace and security and creating a “drone power club” among nations, that face no effective accountability for deploying them as part of their “war on terror””.
Agnes Callamard, Special Rapporteur on Extrajudicial, Summary or Arbitrary Executions, OHCHR.
