%X The aim of this paper is to examine and discuss if the use of drones -when used as an
offensive weapon to end the life of suspected terrorists- validly falls within the scope of application
of Article 51 of the UN Charter. In order to do so, the requirements established by the mentioned
Charter will be duly analysed. Consequently, we will be able to conclude if drones are or are not
fulflling the legal requirements requested by the right of self-defence, adjusting in the latter case
the interpretation of international law to the particular national interests of some countries.
