It will then submit the data as part of a complaint to the United Nations Human Rights Council about the terror attacks, antiwar.com website reported on Wednesday.<br \/>The US regularly carries out attacks by unmanned aircraft on Pakistan&#8217;s tribal regions, claiming the airstrikes target pro-Taliban militants. But locals say civilians are the main victims of the non-UN-sanctioned US strikes.<br \/>The aerial attacks, initiated by former US President George W. Bush, have escalated under President Barack Obama.<br \/>While the US government has always declined to publicly discuss its aerial attacks in Pakistan, US Defense Secretary Leon Panetta admitted on October 11 that the US is fighting a war in Pakistan by using the drones.<br \/>Relations between Islamabad and Washington have soured over the unauthorized attacks, with Pakistan insisting that the airstrikes violate its sovereignty.<br \/>On October 9, Pakistani Foreign Office spokeswoman Tehmina Janjua said the US drone attacks on its territory were unacceptable and a violation of the country&#8217;s sovereignty.<br \/> \u201cIt is very clear that drone attacks are against the sovereignty of Pakistan,\u201d Janjua stated.<br \/>Pakistan&#8217;s Ministry of Human Rights has meanwhile asked the government to complain about the &#8216;extra-judicial killings&#8217; to the United Nations and other international bodies.<br \/>The UN has already condemned the US use of combat drones against other countries as a blatant violation of international law.<br \/>Philip Alston, UN special envoy on extrajudicial killings, said in a report in late October 2010 that the attacks were undermining the rules designed to protect the right of life.<br \/>Alston also said he feared that the drone killings by the US Central Intelligence Agency could develop a &#8220;playstation&#8221; mentality.<\/p>\n<p><em>Source: Press TV<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pakistan has announced that it intends to complain to UN Human Rights Council about non-UN-sanctioned US drone strikes in its northwestern tribal belt near the border with Afghanistan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1863","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-c59-islamic-world"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
