HYBRID EVENT

New technologies of warfare 鈥� the challenges raised by Autonomous Weapons Systems and Cyberwarfare

Virtual and in C-102
Friday, November 26, 2021 - 10:35 to 12:00

Of the main challenges with autonomous weapon systems lies in the difficulty of anticipating their effects. From a humanitarian perspective, they risk harming civilians, and they increase the risk of conflict escalation.聽From a legal perspective, they challenge the ability to comply with legal obligations during planning of the attacks. From an ethical perspective, this process of functioning risks effectively substituting human decisions about life and death with sensor, software and machine processes. (Source ICRC ,聽Autonomous weapons: The ICRC recommends adopting new rules, August 2021). In her presentation Julie Tenenbaum, a senior legal advisor at the International Committee of the Red Cross, will address those issues while discussing concrete examples and reflecting on the legal framework that can limit those risks.
