| Summary: |
"This volume is a response to the continuing, worldwide increase in the acquisition and violent use of armed, uninhabited aerial vehicles (UAVs or 'drones'). Over the last two decades, many different types of drone have been developed and deployed primarily for military surveillance purposes. However, political and popular attention has tended to focus on those drones that are equipped also to conduct missile strikes. The violent use of armed, unmanned aircraft ('drones') is increasing worldwide, but uncertainty persists about the moral status of remote-control killing and why it should be restrained. Practitioners, observers and potential victims of such violence often struggle to reconcile it with traditional expectations about the nature of war and the risk to combatants. Addressing the ongoing policy concern that state use of drone violence is sometimes poorly understood and inadequately governed, the book's ethical assessments are not restricted to the application of traditional Just War principles, but also consider the ethics of artificial intelligence (AI), virtue ethics, and guiding principles for forceful law-enforcement." |
