Re “Greenwald Returns to War, Armed, Against Drone Wars”
[img]2257|right|||no_popup[/img]We have just finished the rollout of our new documentary, Unmanned: America’s Drone Wars. We started with the world premiere in Islamabad, went to D.C. for a Congressional briefing with drones’ survivors, then headed to the New York premiere, which was standing room only, and finally traveled to London for a briefing in Parliament and the European premiere.
Support through all of this has been helpful. Tens of thousands of you have seen the film online. Now it is time to take action. We have compiled an Action Guide for everyone to have the opportunity to make a difference.
One of the key actions comes from our friends at RootsAction. They have started a petition to ban weaponized drones from the world. Drones are making the world less stable and creating new enemies.
The RootsAction petition urges:
• The United Nations Secretary General to investigate the concerns of Navi Pillay, the U.N.'s top human rights official, that drone attacks violate international law, and to ultimately pursue sanctions against nations using, possessing or manufacturing weaponized drones ;
• The prosecutor of the International Criminal Court to investigate grounds for the criminal prosecution of those responsible for drone attacks;
• T he U.S. Secretary of State, and the ambassadors to the United States from the nations of the world, to support a treaty forbidding the possession or use of weaponized drones ;
• President Obama to abandon the use of weaponized drones, and to abandon his kill list program, regardless of the technology employed ;
• The Majority and Minority Leaders of the U.S. House and Senate to ban the use or sale of weaponized drones, an
• The governments of each of our nations around the world, to ban the use or sale of weaponized drones
