Note
Amnesty International held a press conference at UN Headquarters on its 2012 annual report on the use of the death penalty. When the senior Amnesty representative was asked about U.S. use of drones, she responded by analogizing the United States to China and North Korea. UN Press Release: "Ms. Brown acknowledged that the United States was trying to coat drone attacks with a "patina of legitimacy", but was equally "un-transparent" on that score and must equally be criticized in the same way as both China and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea for their lack of transparency."
