Come on. It`s like saying don`t use smartphones.

Israel drones have saved the lives and property of Israelis that are under attack from Gaza. The drones are legal hamas rockets are illegal. The UN is a joke.

First of all, there is absolutely zero evidence that Israel arms their drones in the first place. There is not a single document or picture that proves it. Second, what the hell difference does it make it the payload is delivered by a manned or unmanned airplane? It's the same friggin weapons and the same people launching them.

to defend Israel and if that is not enough reason for the UN, learn to live with it.

pillay would be well advised to ask the islamist terrorists the legal basis for their acts of terror world wide. she could start by asking the muslim brotherhood, hamas, hezbollah, iran, islamic jihad ansar al-sharia, sudan, etc.... the morons at the un always side with fascist totalitarians against democratic states. the un should be disbanded.

International law is more than an ass if these kind of stupid questions need to be deliberated upon.

The legal basis for these strikes is you kill theirs before they can kill yours, its called self defense. No more terror and we can get rid of all these drones, sell them all for scrap and make the UN human rights chief a very happy man. Time for the UN to stop moaning about the human rights of terrorists and their supporters and start speaking up for the human rights of the innocent victims of the terrorists and their supporters. The UN is so very good at getting its priorities all wrong.

... Can kiss me where the sun never shines, if you get my drift... Why don't they throw this ape out of the UN... The forces of good do not need legal basis to wipe out those terror gangs nor do they need the approval of some ape from the UN... What gets my goat is that there is a major terror group in Beirut that is roaming free... why aren't those drones doing the good work there...?

And that is why UN sends monkey after monkey out on the scene. Brainless, brainless, islam-infected brains.. Bye the way, I agree with all talkbackers ... Seems like UN will be the great protector of Islamic terror...

the reason is Islamic terrorism. But Islamic terrorism might be your way of life......

Not exactly for picture taking only. Why the UN doesn't mention this? Where in the Genève convention is forbidden the use of drones for military use

no legal rights no human rights and no right to live for terrorists This is very simple Ah, and no need to apologize to terrorist-loving UN.

There is no difference in essence. You can fire a gun remotely and it is still under your control. It is still your act that triggers the weapon. These people make me sick.

Terrorists there. Boom! End of story.

Without the constant palestinian Terror against Israel action against palestinian terrorists will not be necessary. Same with USA. Navy Pillay, you better act against islamic Terror first.

state of Zimbabwe - the effect of which will be even more starvation and deprivation and AIDS in that country? No?? Does she ask why her PM supports Mugabe? No. So maybe she should stop asking stupid questions and look what's happening on her doorstep.

...life's defense. This right, which precede all other rights, applies to Jews too, as some in the UN may not appreciate. And, we, Jews, are totally entitled to ensure that our lives are defended in the face of those whose declared goal, and actual deed is the mass murder of Jews, only because they are Jewish. Sadly, the UN that should have been the organization that stands in the forefront of such acts of defense by the government of Israel, still can't accept our RIGHT to life and life's defense.

Biased UN chief should know that US and ISRAEL don't have Suicide terrorists and what about Hamas rockets do they have a licence to aim rockets to Israel from UN? Ban was asked in Israel if UN biased against Israel he said yes and then changed his mind

as it keep on pissing on human rights when jews are concerned.... apparently un stand for united nazis

The explanation is very simple. Your friends attack civilians (september 11, 2001), fire rockets (Gaza since 2005) and kidnapped soldiers and you keep silence. Your friends kill 20,000 civilian, use chemical weapons and burn churches and you keep silence. Because so much hypocrisy and your silence, the civilized world needs to defend the citizen against your friends. The good part is that you need to keep silence about the drones. You are not in the circus to defend your friend terroristas, you are to speak against the terrorism. You need to get out of that position and go work

Against Israel, who did not consider Jesus' civil rights. In a short time, we expect Pillay to indict Israel for David using a slingshot against the defenseless Gaza civilian Goliath

What really needs to be clarified is why the Western Democracies send billions of tax dollars to the U.N. every year. Nothing but harm results from it. So much good could be accomplished with these funds.

i ask you, where was your concern when hamas lobbied 15,000 missiles at israel's innocent civilian centers in 5 years? now tell me, what is the "legality" of lobbing 15,000 missiles into another country? if you can answer the above question morally and honestly, maybe israel will answer your question. until then, go away you hypocrite idiotic representative of the most obtuse, corrupt and insane world body. you and your organization are USELESS!.

Drones are being used to conduct operations against terrorists. Why is "lack of transparency" is such a surprise? There is no transparency in military operations, nor should there be any. There was a complete lack of transparency before the allied invasion of Normandy in 1944, and it was good thing. This lack of transparency saved many an allied soldier's life. Pillay is a lawyer and clearly has no military background or education. Her suggestions are at best ludicrous to anyone who had at least a section or a squad under their command.

Like any other weapon, drones have their uses. As long as a combatant takes due care to cause only necessary collateral damage without compromising operational needs, it is perfectly legal. Whether or not Israel uses armed drones (I do not know) the low collateral damage indicates that Israel takes care and should be commended by Pilay. The Obama regime is a different story. There are too many stories of innocents butchered by Obama. Ms. Pillay should file war crimes charges against Obama.

The UN is an advisory body at best.

The UN right responsible may be would better explain why never reacts when people are murdered, raped and tortured in the muslim countries, the last been the Christians in EGYPT.
