Abstract

Lethal Autonomous Weapon System (LAWS) is discussed and considered to the principle of International Humanitarian Law (IHL) and International Human Right Law (IHRL). In line with legal, moral and ethical challenges, some experts and international organisations agree that LAWS Has the potential to distract moral and ethical on the battlefield. Human beings are responsible over LAWS because there is no such thing as fully autonomous weapons. It is always a human commander behind the actions.

Keywords: LAWS, Human Rights, Laws of Armed Conflict
