Summary/Abstract: Emerging military technologies pose fundamental challenges for international humanitarian law. The study examines the hypothesis that these technologies create a significant normative vacuum, as the traditional principles of distinction, proportionality and precaution in attack were designed for conventional conflicts and require substantive reinterpretation. The study results question the adequacy of the existing legal framework.
