- Abstract
The development of modern war has advanced swiftly, especially in using modern guided missiles and unmanned combat aerial vehicles (UCAVs) or drones that could help precise artillery fire. The use of guided missiles or drones is indeed effective in minimizing military casualties. Nevertheless, on the other hand, a lack of information about the enemy position and a less accurate attack to the coordinate point may kill civilians and lead to unlawful killing. This study aims to elaborate further on how international regimes, particularly in the laws of armed conflict, regulate the condition where it is permissible or illegal for the armed forces to launch guided missiles or operate UCAVs during the belligerent time. This research method uses the normative method with a statute and case approach.
