“Functioning of autonomous weapons systems in the context of multilateral regulations”

Summary/Abstract: Objectives:The aim of the article is to present the issue of autonomous weapons systems in the context of creating multilateral legal regulations. For this purpose, the article, due to the lack of legal regulations regulating the use of this type of weapons, refers mainly to international disccusion taking place on the forum of the United Nations Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons, considered the most important source of the global debate on the autonomy of weapon systems and already existing legal solutions concerning this issue.Material and methods:Due to the legal nature of the article, two research methods will be used. As the basic legal comparative method aimed at analyzing the issues concerning the functioning of autonomous weapons systems based on various state concepts developed during international meetings, and as an auxiliary - historical method, which will allow for a better understanding of the axiological foundations of the proposed legislative solutions.Results:The result of the considerations is to indicate that regulating the issue of autonomous weapons systems at the international level is extremely problematic, because on the one hand, it is necessary to strive to introduce binding and rigorous regulations so that their development and use do not lead to serious humanitarian threats or the creation of legal loopholes in responsibility, but their definition should not impede progress or access to appropriate technologies for peaceful purposes.
