Abstract
Upotreba dronova u smrtonosnim operacijama ciljanih ubojstava dovela je do povećane kontroverze i zanimanja javnosti. U ovom radu nastojat ćemo prikazati glavne etičke implikacije upotrebe dronova u ciljanim ubojstvima terorista. U promišljanju o etičnosti upotrebe dronova analizirat ćemo stavove pristaša i protivnika. Osnovna teza odnosi se na pretpostavku da upotreba dronova u ratu protiv terorizma predstavlja veliku opasnost za međunarodnu sigurnost, ljudska prava i demokraciju te ima snažne etičke implikacije. Očekivani je znanstveni doprinos rada u ukazivanju na mnogobrojne etičke probleme koji leže u upotrebi dronova u ciljanim ubojstvima terorista.The use of drones in the deadly operations of targeted killings has led to the increased controversies, and public interest.
