- Title
Laws on LAWS: Regulating the Lethal Autonomous Weapon Systems.
- Authors
Noor, Sitara
- Abstract
The development of lethal autonomous weapon systems (LAWS) has sparked a wide-ranging debate on their use and regulation. This article delves into the contrasting perspectives of optimism, pessimism, and realism surrounding LAWS. Optimists view LAWS as a revolution in military affairs, while pessimists raise concerns about their destabilizing effects and ethical implications. Realists advocate for regulated development and better understanding. This article examines the ongoing debate, the need for a common understanding of LAWS, and proposes options for regulation. It explores the technical and legal definitions of LAWS, analyzes arguments for and against regulation, and discusses potential pathways for addressing the challenges posed by LAWS. The article emphasizes the importance of international cooperation and highlights the risks of unregulated adoption of LAWS. By finding common ground and strengthening norms against unrestrained use, it aims to contribute to the development of laws and regulations that promote global peace and security.
