When a US drone kills a jihadi militant in Pakistan has a law
been broken? What if the missile kills women and children too?
Who can be held to account? Hardtalk speaks to Ben Emmerson, the
British lawyer addressing these questions for the United Nations.
He says drone strikes and other exceptional counter terror
measures simply breed more terror - but does this liberal lawyer
really know what's best in the struggle to make the world a safer
place?
