Authors

Charles P. Trumbull IV

Abstract

This Article provides the first comprehensive analysis of how fundamental principles of IHL can and should be interpreted and applied in light of rapidly changing advances in warfare and the correlated humanitarian risks. This Article will accordingly focus on the challenge of using weapons with significant degrees of autonomy without violating IHL, as well as the challenges for IHL in regulating the use of this new technology.
