Drone-enabled surveillance is fast becoming all-pervasive, having moved rapidly from military combat to other areas of law enforcement and migration control. This will raise new challenges, as civil liberties may be impacted as drones are used to monitor our actions and movements, says Stellenbosch University Political Science international relations expert Dr Raenette Taljaard. Her studies for her doctoral dissertation found that there has been considerable normalisation of drone use by politicians and policymakers, as well as in popular culture through cinematography, and that such normalisation represents a fundamental challenge to the core principles of international law, international human rights law and international humanitarian law, she says.
