The report Human Rights and Human Realities. Local perspectives on drone strikes and international law (2018) sets stories of drone victims in the context of international law.
Since 2003, thousands of armed drone strikes targeted suspected terrorists in these countries, but instead killed and wounded thousands of civilians.
