Ben Emmerson QC
HARDtalk meets British lawyer Ben Emmerson QC. He says drone strikes simply breed more terror - but does he really know what's best in the struggle to make the world a safer place?

HARDtalk speaks to Ben Emmerson, the British lawyer addressing these questions for the United Nations. He says drone strikes and other exceptional counter terror measures simply breed more terror - but does this liberal lawyer really know what's best in the struggle to make the world a safer place?
