self defense is when someone is shooting at you and you shoot back. not when you fly in with drones at 3 in the morning while everyone is sleeping and murder them. There are no people there to call it self defense .. what are they actively defending against..? nothing , they are defending the possibility of an attack. i.e. they are killing people based on what "could" happen ..

It isn't self defense under international law , the lawyer may be claiming that but it certainly doesn't fall under the LEGAL definition of self defense, here or in pakistan.

if you are calling midnight drone attacks "self defense" , there is no killing they couldn't classify as "self defense".

If you start killing people because of what "might" happen then it is a never ending circle.

You might kill me, you own a knife , you know how to use it to kill someone, does that give me the justification to kill you ? I have a video of someone that looks like you attacking people that i don't know but are friends of friends, thus you are at war with me and the video clearly shows you have weapons. Either way i need no evidence , just a gut feeling as apparently there is no need for a judicial process like perhaps you proving it isn't you in the video.

According to you i could claim self defense under international law.
