Abstract
The thesis aims to establish the highest possible standards under international law to regulate the use of drones. It therefore seeks to suggest ways by which greater certainty and clarity can be brought to the law by determining which specific normative regime - selfdefence, humanitarian law or human rights - is most appropriate for the circumstance in which targeted killing is contemplated.
