PANEL: Beyond Human Control: The impact of the Drone War on Civilians

She will discuss the involvement of air bases in Europe in the US drone program, such as the US military bases like Ramstein in Germany and Sigonella in Italy, that bear shared responsibility for allowing their territory to be used to facilitate US drone strikes. Khalil Dewan will focus on the legal ramifications of using AI and autonomy within the kill cloud vis-à-vis international law for targeted killings and drone strikes.
