Controversy and Criticism About Drone Strikes

/in /by

Overview:

There has been much controversy and criticism about drone strikes conducted by the United States, especially those that have targeted Al Qaeda operatives outside Afghanistan in Yemen, Somalia, and the border regions of Pakistan. Many questions have surfaced about the effectiveness of using drone strikes. There is also a widespread perception that strikes have killed many civilians and that they are illegal.

****** * The main question of this paper is that (Does Using Drones to Attack Terrorists Globally Violate International Law?)

I added to two short articles combined as PDF who answered this question by simple answers YES or NO:-

Yes: Mary Ellen O’Connell, “Lawful Use of Combat Drones”

No: Michael W. Lewis, “Examining the Legality of Unmanned Targeting”

The paper is about:

  • The ability to formulate a clear and concise argument. So, it must have a thesis statement and underline it to make argument and support it by using those two articles.
  • It is about the ability to carefully and critically read, evaluate, analyze, and deploy those sources in the service of your argument.

So, Assess the pros and cons of using drones in counter-terrorism strategy. Include some discussion of whether using drones to attack terrorists globally violates international law. The answer can be yes because there are innocent people who died. But what is the best solution, maybe the answer can be something between.

—- Here is the basic outline of a classical argument paper:

Introduction: Get readers interest and attention, state the problem and explain why they should care about globalization and threatening cultural diversity?

Background: Provide some context and key facts surrounding the problem.

Thesis: State your position or claim and outline your main arguments by answering this (Does Using Drones to Attack Terrorists Globally Violate International Law?)

Argument: Discuss the reasons for your position and present evidence to support it (largest section of paper—the main body). Underline the thesis statement.

Refutation: Provide opposing arguments AND convince the reader why opposing arguments are not true or valid. Here you can use more the two articles more.

Conclusion: Summarize your main points, discuss their implications, and state why your position is the best position.

IMPORTANT

1-MLA-style format- example: ( last name # of the page). All information that you directly quote or paraphrase needs a citation in the last page.

2- No need to use other sources rather than the two articles that I gave. BUT if you need 1 or 2 academic the sources and list them on the last page.

3- Keep it simple and easy to understand.
