Traditional Journal of Law and Social Sciences (TJLSS), (2022)
Abstract
By the turn of the 21st century, robotic technology is helping to move
man further and further away from the battlefield. While several of these
advancements still require a human operator, some of these advances
are fully automatic and overturn the paradigm that warfare consists of
violence, hatred, and enmity. Although robotics’ technical progress is
accelerating rapidly, the work being done to evaluate the impact of
robotics on international law and ethical issues is not keeping up. The
present study will examine the issue of robotic weapon systems and their
relationship or compliance with international law norms, e.g., robots’
compliance with the core principles of the law of war, basic norms of
International Human rights law, e.g., humanity, and robots with other
legal instruments. The following article has been analyzed using a
qualitative research methodology
