摘要
The use of drones in the deadly operations of targeted killings has led to the increased controversies, and public interest. In this article we will try to show main ethical implications of the use of drones in the targeted killings of terrorists. Considering the ethics of the use of drones, we will analyze the views of supporters and opponents, which are diametrically opposed. The main thesis refers to the assumption that the use of drones in the war against terrorism represents a great danger to international security, human rights and democracy, and has strong ethical implications. The expected contribution of this paper is pointing out many ethical problems provoked by the use of drones in the targeted killings of terrorists.
