U.S. military drones killed at least 300 civilians in these years?

According to Bloomberg News, under the pressure of protests from private lawyers and groups, the Obama administration released an excerpted revised version of the 2013 policy document on U.S. use of drones on overseas battlefields, setting out whether it was determined if an overseas drone strike was an attack. Interviewing process for alleged terrorism.

In March 2015, the Civil Rights Organization’s American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) filed an application to various government departments including the Ministry of Justice on the basis of the Freedom of Information Act, requesting the Obama Administration to publish documents on the use of drones. .

Because of the dissatisfaction, the Obama administration has kept its mystery about the policy and related details of its drone operations. Moreover, drone strikes often lead to manslaughter of civilians. In 2013, Obama promised to increase the transparency of his anti-terrorist activities, including overseas drone operations.

At the end of July this year, the White House issued a statement on the results of the aerial drone-based air strikes in Western Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa during Obama’s term of office. The statement stated that from 2009 to December 31, 2015, the Obama administration was in total In Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, and Libya, 473 drone-based air raids were launched and 2,372 to 2,581 terrorist militants were wiped out. However, a total of 64 to 116 civilians were also killed in the process.

However, according to public opinion, the number of civilians who have been killed in the U.S. government’s statement is seriously underestimated by the government. In the same period, the independent non-profit Organization for Investigation and Information Service (BIJ) estimated that there were 380 to 801 people in the accidental killing of civilians.

From 2012, the U.S. overseas drone problem has always been the focus of attention. Although the Obama administration insists that U.S. overseas drone operations have not violated the constitution, it has been met with strong protests from many lawyers and civil society groups, demanding that more detailed information be disclosed. Starting in 2013, the ACLU began to sue the U.S. government on behalf of the manslaughtered U.S. citizens and questioned the U.S.'s inclusion of drone operations overseas as top secret information.

In the previous lawsuit against the government, the ACLU asked the government to provide information on how to choose the target and how to verify the law and policy of the fatal strike action.

According to Bloomberg, the U.S. government’s published documents in May 2013 included an 18-page Presidential Policy Guidance and some documents from the Department of Defense. All previous presidents of the United States have their own “National Security Directive”, which is mainly used to issue instructions to the relevant responsible persons of various administrative departments in matters of national security. Most of them involve sensitive and confidential information such as national security and military guidelines. PPG can be considered as Obama's national security directive, so if the White House is secretive, it is also expected.

The disclosed PPG document shows that the U.S. government will only make fatal blows to individuals who “constitute a constant and urgent threat to Americans”. The specific time is that when “almost certain” this goal appears, it will not injure civilians. And this strike is a necessary time for "achieving the U.S. policy goals."

The NSC spokesman Ned Price said in a statement on Saturday that the memorandum standard “provides protection for civilians beyond the legal requirements on which the armed conflict is based. ” It is understood that U.S. military drones are used in addition to overseas armed forces. Terrorist defenses have also been exposed to monitor American civilians.

On August 4, the ACLU stated on its website that the FBI responded to the organization’s request and announced an 18-hour surveillance video showing that the FBI performed at least over Baltimore between April 29 and May 3, 2015. 10 patrol flights.

However, the US government's practice of publishing confidential documents in cooperation was considered by the ACLU as a landmark event. It is reported that the head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff will conduct a retrospective analysis of the Pentagon's request .
