The UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights has launched an investigation into drone strikes and will review resultant civilian casualties to determine whether the attacks constitute a war crime.
A war crime?
Not looking into any paticular state but, He also requested the US to release "before and after" videos of the drone strikes and internal reports of those killed, including civilians.

Wonder if, the left will still want the US to obey the UN if, they state that what we are doing with drones is a war crime and demand it stops?

The UN??? What a joke. How about telling the UN we arent giving them anymore of the money we borrow from China and telling them to take a long walk on a short pier??
Is Iran still head of the human rights commission???

F the UN.
Of course I know the drones were dark, evil and faceless murderers of innocents under Bush, but ramped WAY up under Obambi and they instantly become vital security tools.
Years ago some meaningless committee found Bush Co guilty of war crimes in Iraq, and the left crowed that Dick Cheney was going to be arrested and charged in Germany. Uh huh.
Oh, but when none other than uber dem Ramsey Clarke's "committee", with 11 countries, found Clinton Co GUILTY of 19 counts of war crimes in the Balkans, THAT was meaningless drivel. Well, that goes without saying, now doesn't it?
