استخدام الطائرات دون طيار في ضوء قواعد القانون الدولي الإنساني

Abstract EN

The present time has witnessed an extensive use of unmanned aircraft technology as it became the weapon of choice for states to use in their armed conflicts.

This is due to the unmanned aircraft ability in protecting the states, soldiers and its accuracy in achieving goals.

Additionally, its ability to perform tasks which are impossible to be performed by regular soldiers.

Furthermore, the material cost of unmanned aircraft puts it in favour over manned aircraft because there is relative cost involved.

The use of unmanned aircraft has had multiple effects.

In addition to the military effect of changing the balance of military power and canceling the traditional concept of combat soldiers, using unmanned aircrafts has also had effects on the rules and principles of the international humanitarian law which necessitates a review of the technology to ensure the extent of its legitimacy
