Silahlı çatışma hukukunu düzenleyen Cenevre Sözleşmeleri ve Ek Protokolleri; yakın gelecekte ordular tarafından aktif olarak kullanılmaya başlanacak olan, modern silah teknolojileri arasında yer alan, otonom silah sistemlerini yorumlamak için yetersiz kalmaktadır. Otonom silah sistemleri için yeni bir düzenleme ihtiyacının varlığı açıktır. Bu makale, uluslararası hukuk açısından henüz bir düzenlemeye tabi olmayan ve global arenada yasaklanması konusunda tartışmaların sürdüğü, otonom silah sistemlerine odaklanarak, hukuki nakiller yöntemiyle mayınlar, yakıcı silahlar ve misket bombaları hakkında daha önce hazırlanan düzenlemeleri inceleyerek, otonom silah sistemleri için bir alternatif olup olamayacaklarını inceleyecektir. Makalede ulaşılan sonuç neticesinde, otonom silah sistemleri için hazırlanması gereken uluslararası insancıl hukuk kılavuzunun içeriği ve hukuki statüsü konusunda öneriler paylaşılacaktır.

Legal Transplants: Applying Arms Control Frameworks to Autonomous Weapons

Öz

The Geneva Conventions and Additional Protocols that regulate the law of armed conflict are insufficient to interpret autonomous weapon systems, which are among the modern weapon technologies that will be actively used by armies in the near future. This article focuses on autonomous weapon systems, which are not yet subject to regulation in terms of international law and which are still under debate with regard to prohibition in the global arena, and examines whether they can be an alternative for autonomous weapon systems by examining the regulations previously prepared on landmines, incendiary weapons, and cluster munitions through legal transplants. As a result of the conclusions reached in the article, recommendations will be shared on the content and legal status of the international humanitarian law manuals that should be prepared for autonomous weapon systems.
