At-last, Obama has officially acknowledged the US drone-attack campaign inside Pakistan. The drones have been wreaking havoc in Pakistan for many years on the pretext of hunting terrorists. Different reports by national and international organisations have also suggested that most of the sufferers of US drone attacks were civilians including innocent children. A couple of days ago, Amnesty International has asked Obama to disclose the legal basis of drone attacks in Pakistan.
President Obama’s acknowledgement has not only unveiled the official truth but also a provided a proof of US atrocities against humanity. The United Nations should take Obama’s acknowledgement as a confession on committing war crimes. On the other hand, Islamabad, instead of expecting others to help, should muster up its own courage to take up the issue to the UN.
