Hague sued over US drone strikes in Pakistan

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-17335368

Quote:
Human rights lawyers are to sue Foreign Secretary William Hague over the alleged use of intelligence in assisting US drone attacks in Pakistan.
The case is being raised at the High Court in London on behalf of Noor Khan, whose father was killed in a US strike.
Lawyers from Leigh Day and Co say civilian intelligence officers who give information to the US may be liable as "secondary parties to murder".
I'm wondering if this can actually fly..Just how far can a country give up it's sovereignty and rights to protect itself to observe every nuance of human rights?

So it's a "fishing" exercise.....

The lawyers, which include some from the international charity Reprieve, want to establish what official UK policy or guidance is with regard to assisting the US in such cases.

Re: Hague sued over US drone strikes in Pakistan

Yes lawyers rather like probing, testing and picking the nits out of every piece of legislation don't they. Could it have anything to do with the fact they get paid handsomely for so doing and perpetuate their own existence at the same time?
