The U.S. Drone program has been the subject of much debate. Join our experts in a riveting assessment of whether Unmanned Arial Vehicles ("UAVs" or "Drones") have the potential to protect and promote human rights? Surveillance drones have raised privacy concerns; but what if they are used to document and monitor abuse in dangerous crisis zones or remote locations unreachable by monitors? Our experts will discuss various non-military uses for Drones, the rapid advance of technology, the possible benefits of Drones to the human rights cause, and the legal framework implicated.
