DRONE LEGISLATION – A WAR OF ATTRITION
Journal Title: Challenges of the Knowledge Society - Year 2016, Vol 6, Issue 0
Abstract
Drones are considered a major breakthrough in robotics, yet, ever since their spearhead, lawmakers have fallen short in providing a clear body law that could be applicable to the emergent trend of unmanned vehicles. This sparks a question that needs to be answered, in short, are drones legal? Other issues that have arisen afterwards that have to be tackled must also find an answer. These issues have become more and more vocal in the halls of the United Nations ever since drone strikes and surveillance operations conducted by major powers on their own, or even carried by the United Nations in its operations, meaning that the core issue that must be worked upon is whether or not should the drone be used in extraterritorial law enforcement missions, United Nations or African Union operations or even in terrorist hunt operations, while also coming to grip with the concept of autonomous or intelligent drones being implemented in these types of procedures. Lastly, the focus on the usage of unmanned aerial vehicles has triggered a very important question, should drones have their own lex specialis? To sum up, this paper will focus on answering issues regarding the legality of drones; the justification to use drones in key operations by states and international organizations such as the United Nations or African Union, but also to expand the acceptance of autonomous drones in such operations. Lastly, the paper will spotlight if a treaty prohibiting or containing the usage, selling and manufacturing of drones should exist.
