US drone war: Constitutional Court exonerates Germany, with caveats
Germany's Constitutional Court has ruled that while the US air base in Ramstein can be used for drone operations, Germany has a constitutional obligation to protect individuals' rights. The court acknowledged the US military's use of Ramstein for drone strikes but emphasized Germany's responsibility to ensure these operations adhere to fundamental rights. The ruling stops short of completely prohibiting the US from using the base but places a duty on the German government to actively oversee and potentially intervene if drone strikes violate human rights.
