US drone attacks violate international law: FO
ISLAMABAD: The government of Pakistan has strongly condemned the US drone attack which took place in North Waziristan Agency on April 14.

In a press release, the Foreign Office said such attacks were in ‘contravention of international law and counterproductive to the stability of the country.’ The Foreign Office stated that the government had maintained its stance that drone strikes violated the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Pakistan.

‘Such attacks also set dangerous precedents in inter-state relations,’ the press release stated.

According to the Foreign Office, the government of Pakistan called upon the US government to stop such attacks based on mutual respect and established international norms.
