New technologies and warfare. 1/9 Panel introduction
Channel: International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC)
Date: 01/04/2014

In recent years, a wide array of new technologies has entered the modern battlefield, giving rise to new methods and means of warfare, such as cyber attacks, armed drones and robots.  While there can be no doubt that IHL applies to them, applying pre-existing legal rules to new technologies may raise the question of whether the rules are sufficiently clear in light of the new technologies' specific characteristics and foreseeable humanitarian impact.

The event took place in ICRC's Humanitarium (Geneva, Switzerland) on 25 March 2014.
