“…Challenges associated with using UAS UAS could play an important role in complex humanitarian emergency services as they can be used for surveillance in difficult or inaccessible areas. However, there are also risks associated with human welfare if they are misused (Boyle, 2015). Legal and ethical restraints have to be maintained to make use of the potentials of UAS.…”

Application of unmanned aerial systems was limited to the military until the last decade when we see dramatic growth of interest by civilian users. Among the many fields of application of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), forestry has diverse uses ranging from forest cover assessment to species classification and real-time forest fire monitoring. Inspired by the potential uses of the technology, this study is a review of literature on the types and uses of UAVs, the challenges and opportunities, current experiences and the future prospects of using UAVs for forest resources monitoring in Ethiopia. The study has identified potential uses of UAVs for forestry applications. It has also shown that there is perceived need for accurate, demand-based and cost-effective tools for forest resources monitoring in developing countries including Ethiopia. Hence, the use of small UAVs in the forestry sector in Ethiopia is believed to be a supplementary method to the existing methods of spatial data capture for filling the gap of information and improving the quality of forest information that is needed to comply with international standards. The results of this study indicate that Ethiopia can make use of the technology and improve its forest information system. However, while doing so, rules and regulations must be put in place to avoid the challenges that come along with introducing the technology. If properly used, the technology will enhance the forest management decision-support system of the country.

“…While Ward Thomas addresses normative decline, Fisher ( 2006 ) concludes in his work that a “norm permitting the use of targeted killing for counter-terrorism purposes appears likely to emerge [emphasis added] and spread successfully” (p. 757; see also Jose, 2016 ; Lantis, 2016 ). In a similar vein, Fisk and Ramos ( 2014 , 2016 ) argue that a norm of preventive self-defense slowly supersedes the existing prohibition of the preventive use of force (see also Boyle, 2015 , pp. 119–121; Martin, 2012 , p.…”

This article introduces the special issue’s question of whether and how the current transformation of targeted killing is transforming the global international order and provides the conceptual ground for the individual contributions to the special issue. It develops a two-dimensional concept of political order and introduces a theoretical framework that conceives the maintenance and transformation of international order as a dynamic interplay between its behavioral dimension in the form of violence and discursive processes and its institutional dimension in the form of ideas, norms, and rules. The article also conceptualizes targeted killing and introduces a typology of targeted-killing acts on the basis of their legal and moral legitimacy. Building on this conceptual groundwork, the article takes stock of the current transformation of targeted killing and summarizes the individual contributions to this special issue.

“…Kendsgerninger om ofrenes reelle status kan vaere saerdeles vanskelige at fastslå alene på basis af overvågningsbilleder og -videoer. Men når sikker identifikation har vaeret mulig, er der en del konkrete eksempler på overdrevne påstande om drab på "højt profilerede" mål, som viste sig ikke at vaere så højt placerede, når det kom til stykket eller sågar nogle helt andre personer end de postulerede (Boyle 2015;Mayer 2015).…”
