If a suspect can be captured or detained in a less harmful means and it is not followed up, any targeted killing that is executed will be an extrajudicial killing and/or murder by international human rights law standards.</div> <div></div> <div>The use of drones has been highlighted recently by the Intercept with their recent publishing of<strong> <a href="https://theintercept.com/drone-papers">The Drone Papers</a>. </strong></div> <div></div> <div></div> <div><strong>Call to Action</strong></div> <div> CAGE calls on our supporters to<strong> <a href="http://www.change.org/p/stop-british-drone-targeted-killings">sign this petition</a></strong> calling on the Prime Minister to stop the use of drones for targeted killing.</div> <div></div> <div></div>
