    UN official Christof Heyns says the lack of human commanders raises many moral and    (3)    questions about LARs. He spoke last month at a meeting of the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva, Switzerland.

    "War without reflection is mechanical slaughter, in the same way that the taking of any human life    (4)    - as a minimum - some deliberation, a decision to allow machines to be deployed to kill human beings worldwide. Whatever weapons they use, deserves a collective pause."

    Shortly after his speech, the Pakistani Taliban reported that its number 2 commander was killed in a suspected American drone strike.
