Implikasi Penggunaan Lethal Autonomous Weapon System Terhadap Konflik Bersenjata Dan Urgensi Regulasinya Berdasarkan Hukum Humaniter Internasional
ABSTRACT
The use of Lethal Autonomous Weapon Systems (LAWS) raises complex moral, ethical, legal, social, and political implications. One of the main concerns is the potential violation of fundamental principles in international humanitarian law, such as the principles of humanity, distinction, and proportionality. Without direct human control, decisions made by autonomous weapon systems in armed conflicts pose significant risks to civilian protection and compliance with the laws of war. Therefore, the urgency of regulating LAWS within international humanitarian law has become a critical issue that needs to be examined.
This study employs a normative legal research method with a literature review to analyze the relevant legal principles found in international humanitarian law instruments, such as the principles of distinction, proportionality, humanity, and accountability. Through this approach, the study highlights the extent to which existing legal principles can be applied to the development of LAWS and identifies the regulatory gaps that still exist. Additionally, this research discusses the challenges of establishing legal accountability for actions taken by autonomous weapon systems, considering the absence of a legal subject that can be directly held responsible under current humanitarian law.
The findings of this study indicate that several countries have already begun developing and utilizing LAWS. However, there is still no explicit and specific international humanitarian law instrument that governs their existence. This regulatory vacuum poses challenges in ensuring that the use of LAWS remains within the boundaries of international legal and ethical norms. Therefore, efforts to formulate regulations that accommodate humanitarian law principles are necessary to ensure that the use of LAWS aligns with applicable legal and ethical standards.
