"War without reflection is a massacre," argues the UN special rapporteur on extrajudicial executions, Christof Heyns from South Africa, who yesterday warned against the use of a new generation of drones, unmanned aircraft remotely piloted and used by the United States to attack Islamist groups in Yemen, Somalia and on the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan. The new models have the ability to make the decision to carry out attacks independently without any human intermediary. "Robots murderers" as they were baptized by Heyns.
The independent expert on human rights called international debate on the introduction of this technology in future conflicts. "We need to get a serious commitment and content on this subject before we are in a world with machines with the power to kill human beings," said Heyns during the presentation of his report to the Human Rights Council UN .
The rapporteur noted that the introduction of this technology in armed conflict raises the question of whether these machines can be programmed to respect international law, "especially the distinction between combatants and civilians." Also tabled the extreme difficulty of designing a legal framework establishing liability related to the actions of machines.
The South African expert emphasized the importance of eliminating or limiting the human factor, for example, the fight against terrorism. "Humans, unlike robots are capable of acting out of compassion, based on their knowledge of the context, know that a more lenient attitude may be necessary in a particular situation."
The UN report comes a week after the speech of U.S. President Barack Obama, on the use of drones to track down and kill terrorists. He announced that the new strategy would only allow the use of drones in cases in which the capture of terrorists is not possible and the intelligence services consider that pose an imminent threat to national security.
The left of the Democratic Party and advocacy groups criticize human rights Obama has resorted to this alternative to deploy troops on the ground. Something that, according to the president, "would be more dangerous for our troops and the civilian population."
Stephen Townley, U.S. delegate to the Human Rights Council UN recognized that using these autonomous robots raises "ethical challenges" and called upon all States to act "in accordance with the law, in a prudent and responsible" , to adopt this technology.
Since 2004, the drones have been responsible for the murder of 3,587 people, including 884 civilians in Pakistan, the country hardest hit by the lethal.
