On Thursday, July 23 New America published Drones and Aerial Observation: New Technologies for Property Rights, Human Rights, and Global Development, which is designed to serve as a primer about how drones can be used in furtherance of property rights and in other, related aspects of global development. The report is meant to be useful to practitioners who fly drones, regulators who regulate them, and the general public who seek to understand their capabilities and impact. This primer was edited by Konstantin Kakaes. It is published in conjunction with a website, drones.newamerica.org, which comprises a database of global drone use in these sectors, as well as the first comprehensive compilation of global drone regulations. The primer and website are made possible with support of Omidyar Network and Humanity United.
