武装无人机域外打击的国际法弹性规制探究

On the Elastic Regulation on Extraterritorial Attacks by Armed UAVs in of International Law

囿于国际法对武装无人机域外打击的规制空白,实践中产生武装无人机受国际法约束存疑、"不能或不愿"原则不当使用、易非法侵害别国主权、易违背国际人道法的原则、域外打击地域范围存疑、域外打击法律责任承担不明等诸多法律问题,急需国际法解决。现行国际法弹性框架下创新性地强调武装无人机的域外打击仍应遵守作战规则和武器限定规则,仍受国际法的调整。

In view of the regulatory gaps in international law on extraterritorial attacks by armed UAVs, international law urgently needs to resolve the following issues in practice: the doubt on armed UAVs extraterritorial attacks’ subject to international regulation, improper use of the principle of " being unable or unwilling", and being apt to illegal infringement of the sovereignty of other countries, tending to violate the principles of international humanitarian law, the doubts about the territorial scope of extraterritorial attacks, and the unclear legal responsibility of extraterritorial attacks, etc. Under the current elastic framework of international law, it is innovatively emphasized that the extraterritorial attacks by armed UAVs should still abide by fight rules and the rules governing weapons, and still be subject to international law.
