Effective Legal management

If some autonomous weapons ar to be permissible, it's important that effective legal management is constructed into them such they can not pull killing and war crimes. Developing a swarm of os bombers to kill civilians is already a crime which use is already prohibited.

It is already the case that fielded autonomous weapons ar subject to Article thirty six legal review to confirm they will be operated in accordance with International Humanitarian Law.

There will be some exceptional cases wherever the human is within the policy loop and off the firing loop (e.g. anti-tank mines and service mines that ar long accepted weapons) and cases wherever battlespace tempo (fast moving enemy objects) need humans on the firing loop not in it once the system is activated (e.g. Phalanx).

Ideally, wherever battlespace tempo permits, there ought to be humans in each policy and firing loops. Taking humans out of the policy loop ought to be comprehensively and pre-emptively prohibited.
