Lawfulness Of And The Case For Combat Drone Against Terrorism, Heeyong D. Jang
Heeyong D Jang
The proliferation and use of unmanned combat aerial vehicles (UCAVs) since the September 11 attack triggered lively academic debates. The discussion thus far, often tainted by illegitimate ad bellum-in bello conflation, falls short of justifying the lawfulness and effectiveness of combat drones. Combat drones can successfully discharge its obligation under the four-pronged jus in bello test – distinction, proportionality, necessity, and humanity. Furthermore, this state-of-the-art technology helps to achieve five important policy objectives of fighting asymmetric warfare, combating insurgents who disregard the existing law, deterring further acts of terrorism, dodging improvised explosive devices, and avoiding more costly military actions.

The Application Of Traditional Tort Theory To Embodied Machine Intelligence, Curtis E.A. Karnow
The Application Of Traditional Tort Theory To Embodied Machine Intelligence, Curtis E.A. Karnow
Curtis E.A. Karnow
This note discusses the traditional tort theories of liability such as negligence and strict liability and suggests these are likely insufficient to impose liability on legal entities (people and companies) selling or employing autonomous robots. I provide the essential working definitions of ‘autonomous’ as well as the legal notion of ‘foreseeability’ which lies at the heart of tort liability. The note is not concerned with the policy, ethics, or other issues arising from the use of robots including armed and unarmed drones, because those, as I define them, are not currently autonomous, and do not implicate the legal issues I …

Targeted Killing - Death By Drone, Jeffrey F. Addicott
Targeted Killing - Death By Drone, Jeffrey F. Addicott
Faculty Articles
Following the targeted killing of American born al-Qa’eda leader, Anwar al -Awlaki, targeted killings of American citizens has been a hotly contested issue. A targeted killing is defined as the “intentional, premeditated and deliberate use of lethal force, by states or their agents acting . . . against a specific individual who is not in the physical custody of the perpetrator.” The rule of law that justifies a state killing another human rests in either the law of war or the legal right of self-defense.
The term targeted killing is most often associated with the use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles …
