Analysis On The Status Of Autonomous Weapons In International Humanitarian Law

In the 1990 s,the world entered the third industrial revolution.The development of science and technology promoted the upgrading of weapons technology,and the war pattern also upgraded accordingly.Modern high-tech war is updating the traditional weapons and equipment,war theory and combat mode of war.Information technology leads to the rapid innovation of weapon technology,at the same time,war theory,weapon concept,legal system and other restrictions began to break through.With the continuous development of science and technology,the development of the weapon is inevitably entered the irreversible development status,the weapons of mass destruction such as nuclear,genetic breakthrough the border of the traditional weapons,these weapons can not only kill the enemy,even enough to destroy humanity and earth under the background of traditional weapons produced by international law and international law practice appears gradually in new weapon control the co-action.With the deepening of the research on AIT,the development of autonomous weapons equipped with more advanced technology has gradually entered the field of practice and theory.Autonomous weapons are characterized by the capability of autonomous search,independent selection,automatic identification of attack targets and making attack decisions.Under such conditions,autonomous weapons seem to have a certain status of "subject",which makes it difficult to be treated as the object of regulation in international humanitarian law.But international humanitarian law produce up to now,the only national organization,individuals,armed conflict,etc as the rights and obligations of the main body,the body can be as liable for international humanitarian law,or by international humanitarian law to punish individuals,its connotation is obviously only focus on the problems associated with people,people and machines or the rights and duties in the relationship before also failed to enter thesubject of international humanitarian law regulation.In this sense,the existence and development of autonomous weapons will largely change the structure of contemporary warfare and pose a fundamental challenge to the existing system of international humanitarian law.Trying to explore independent weapon and the relationship between international humanitarian law and autonomous weapons to the impact of international humanitarian law,should be autonomous weapons to locate in the dominant position of international humanitarian law as the prerequisite,solve the autonomous weapons in the dominant position of international humanitarian law is likely to discuss the existing problems and future possible international humanitarian law system for autonomous weapons regulation problem.Not only that,with the rapid development of science and technology,the era of rapid development of AIT came into being,autonomous weapons related issues must also be in the development of the subject,we should also look at the development of autonomous weapons in the international humanitarian law status.
