The use of armed drones: a regulatory crossroads
Main Article Content
Abstract
This article analyzes the relationship between international humanitarian law and international human rights law in the context of the dilemmas posed by the use of armed drones or targeted armed attacks. In the face of targeted armed attacks, various systems of international law converge, such as international law on the use of force, international humanitarian law and international rights law guaranteeing the right to life. The legality of the use of drones will depend on the specific circumstances of the armed conflict, whether it responds to a proportional mode and means of combat of self-defense and, therefore, on the priority of the applicable norms (lex generalis or lex specialis).
