title = {Internationale Rüstungskontrollbemühungen zu autonomen Waffensystemen: Definitionen, Technik und sicherheitspolitische Implikationen},
year = {2018},
note = {While fully autonomous weapon systems do not exist yet, the technology
is steadily advancing. A growing number of international experts warn
that lethal autonomous weapon systems (LAWS) could have dangerous
implications in the future regarding ethics, international
humanitarian law, and security. That is why the international
community is vividly discussing how to proceed with regulations and
arms control. This article focuses on the diplomatic and legal debate
on the regulation of LAWS within the Convention on Certain
Conventional Weapons (CCW), evaluating the developments of the past
years. It outlines the challenges of capturing and controlling LAWS,
in particular the lack of a common definition, the limited
understanding of underlying technologies, and an insufficient
awareness of security implications. The authors identify gaps in the
international discourse and point to the necessity of further
research.},
