What the president of the International Committee of the Red Cross stated was the provision of current humanitarian law, not his opinion.

We have always led on the issue of disarmament. We want to reduce the use of weapons and the killing of people. This approach is very well known across the world. I do not see a prospect of an agreement to ban the use of UAVs. I want to see a reduction in the military use of drones, which is in line with our position in favour of disarmament and the protection of civilians.
