English Abstract

The use of drones for the targeted killing of suspected terrorists has raised a number of complex legal issues for scholars and practitioners in field of international law.

This paper will focus on the applicability of international humanitarian law in such situations and the characterization of drone warfare as armed conflict.

In this context, the scope of armed conflict as a concept of international humanitarian law will be explored.

In doing so, emphasis will be placed on the need for accountability to ensure greater compliance with international law.
