UN yet AGAIN takes sides AGAINST Israel as the UN rights chief challenges US and Israel on drones. We wonder when the UN will be concerned over rocket attacks against Israel or the murder of civilians world wide by Islamists?


Legal terms of US, Israel drone use examined by UN, which asks to clarify basis of strikes in areas of conflict 
    
Navi Pillay told a UN Security Council meeting Monday on protection of civilians that "the current lack of transparency surrounding their use creates an accountability vacuum and affects the ability of victims to seek redress."

Pity they weren't as interested in the protection of Israeli civilians as rockets come in from Gaza or other innocents around the world murdered in the name of our enemies?

Pillay said she is "seriously concerned about human rights implications for the protection of civilians of armed drone strikes carried out in the context of counter-terrorism and military operations including in Pakistan, Yemen and Gaza."
 
"I urge relevant states to clarify the legal basis for such strikes as well as the safeguards in place to ensure compliance with applicable international law," Pillay said.
