By adopting a multi-disciplinary approach, this book provides a
comprehensive analysis of the legality of the use of autonomous
weapons systems under international law. It examines different
arguments presented by States, roboticists and scholars to
demonstrate the challenges such systems will create for the laws of
war. This study examines how technology of warfare seeks to
increase the dissociation of risk and communication between weapons
and their human operators. Furthermore, it explains how algorithms
might give rise to 'errors' on the battlefield that cannot be
directly attributed to human operators. Against this backdrop, Dr
Seixas-Nunes examines three distinct legal frameworks: the
distinction between the legality of weapons and the laws of
targeting; different mechanisms of individual accountability and
the importance of recovering the category of 'dolus eventualis' for
programmers and technicians and, finally, State responsibility for
violations of the laws of war caused by weapons' software errors.
