Respective research intended to examine the effect of the US drone strategy on Pakistan’s national security. It is based on the diverse opinion of analysts some of whom suggest that these incursions were the clear defilement of International Law and sovereignty of Pakistan thus enhancing resentment provoking more terrorism. Others argue the effectiveness of drone attacks against terrorists. Though unpopular these strikes have helped U.S. counterterrorism efforts in Pakistan. As a partner of America in the war against terror, Pakistan is being adversely affected by this strategy. It has resulted in not only civilian casualties but has further provoked terrorists to retaliate thus affecting internal security and law and order concerns of Pakistan. Should these strikes continue or be abandoned altogether or be brought within a prescribed format is now the issue of concern. This will be dealt with considering various approaches, implications, and regulations
