. >> rama ramad from the international red cross speaking in my own personal capacity. the discussion on uavs brings to light two broader trends in warfare and the law that governs it, and the most obvious is the trend towards remote war fighting, and one of the many issues that come out of that trend is well, what is the status of the pilot that is flying these uavs from nevada or some other place that is far from the theater of active hostilities, and we had this discussion a little bit earlier at the end of the earlier session, and for me it's very difficult to see how a uniformed member of the armed forces of a state that is piloting a uav and either directly launching attacks and providing tactical information to assist in a strike would not be directly participating hostilities and could -- would be in any way protected against attacks, so in my mind that he would be a lawful target, and -- >> [inaudible] >> not only that, but in addition to that just like a soldier sort of asleep in the barrack is not only related to the time they are participating, there could b
