Drones as vehicles for humanitarian action: perspectives, opportunities and challenges
Journal Title: Conjuntura Austral: journal of the Global South - Year 2016, Vol 7, Issue 33
Abstract
The paper addresses the deployment of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, or drones, for humanitarian action. By analyzing the deployment and functions acquired by such technologies at the global level, the paper critically discusses and scrutinizes the increasingly frequent narratives linking drones as vehicles for humanitarian action and thus seeks to contribute and offer some inputs to this nascent and important debate.
