AI IN WAR AND PEACE: AUTONOMOUS WEAPON SYSTEMS AND FUTURE OF INTERNATIONAL HUMANITARIAN LAW

Summary/Abstract: The increasing complexity of global economic relations has made international sanctions and corresponding counter-sanctions central to the evolution of international business law. The objectives of this study are to examine how conflicting sanctions regimes—such as those imposed by the United State sand the European Union, and the counter-measures adopted by China and Russia—affect the legal framework governing multinational business activities. The research employs a comparative legal analysisand case-study method to identify areas where these regulations overlap or conflict, focusing on their implications for contract performance, investment security, and financial transactions. The results indicate that corporations face significant compliance challenges when navigating contradictory legal obligations, often leading to contractual uncertainty and increased transaction costs. The study further finds that legal instruments such as choice-of-law clauses, force majeure provisions, and investment protection mechanisms can partially mitigate these risks, though their effectiveness varies by jurisdiction. The implications of this research suggest that the current system of sanctions and counter-sanctions contributes to the fragmentation of the international economic order, highlighting the need for greater harmonization and clearer conflict-of-law solutions to maintain predictability and stability in global business relations.
