The principle of humanity requires avoiding unnecessary harm to civilians. The fundamental rationale for drone use relies on this principle: drone capacity for precise targeting can save civilian lives.
There is not 100% accuracy for drone strikes and so we knowingly go into these strikes with the likelihood that there will be civilian deaths.
roughly 2,500 terrorists, and somewhere between 64 and 116 civilians, had died at the hand of drone strikes.
What can we do about this? It's not that we don't want to be accurate with these numbers but it's just really hard to determine when/where/how someone was killed by a drone.
After the invasion, the Soviet leadership justified the use of force in Prague under what would become known as the Brezhnev Doctrine, which stated that Moscow had the right to intervene in any country where a communist government had been threatened. This doctrine, established to justify Soviet action in Czechoslovakia, also became the primary justification for the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979, and even before that it helped to finalize the Sino-Soviet split, as Beijing feared that the Soviet Union would use the doctrine as a justification to invade or interfere with Chinese communism
How is the Brezhnev Doctrine similar to the Truman Doctrine and the U.S. policy of Containment?
