The 1949 Geneva Conventions require states to search for those who have committed war crimes and either prosecute them in their own courts or turn them over to another state that is prepared to try them. Similarly, the 1984 Convention Against Torture requires states to establish their own jurisdiction to prosecute torture if an offender is on their territory and is not extradited to stand trial in the country where the crime was committed.

The United Nations Convention on Torture explicitly forbids cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment, so their use must be denied. Also, assassination by drones inevitably leads to the killing of innocent civilians the very crime that defines terrorism.
