A/HRC/25/59 combatants and ten civilians were reportedly killed in the attack, and one civilian (a 4-yearold girl) was injured. The incident was investigated by UNAMA and is detailed in its 2013 annual report on civilian casualties.20 According to the report, ISAF initially denied the possibility of civilian casualties. However, after being pressed by UNAMA to investigate further, ISAF officials confirmed that one woman and one child had been killed, and was unable to rule out the possibility of at least one further woman civilian having been killed.21 ISAF informed UNAMA that approval of the strike was obtained from all required levels of ISAF and Afghan national security forces’ chain of command. ISAF has not published the results of its investigations. The UNAMA report concludes (p. 47): In the case of the 7 September UAV/RPA [unmanned aerial vehicle or remotely piloted aircraft] strike in Watapur, UNAMA raises concern about possible negligence of international military forces and a possible failure to take sufficient precautionary measures. The advanced surveillance technology, equipment and extensive intelligence networks used by international military forces, combined with operational policies oriented towards reducing harm, should provide a sufficiently robust framework to ensure the degree and kind of care that limits, if not eliminates, disproportionate collateral damage. The apparent failure, however, of international forces to identify the presence of a group of women and children in a vehicle prior to engaging the vehicle with a UAV/RPA strike could suggest negligence. Of further concern was the apparent failure of international military forces to confirm the identity and/or status of the men accompanying the fighter targeted by international military forces.
