Military Robots-A threat to national soverginity

Currently, the world is rapidly progressing in scientific fields and there is no stoppage in this field. Currently, Robos are entering a variety of fields in the world and they are on the verge to cause a huge disruption in the society.The efficiency of robots has also increased these days.

These days robots are ready to enter military field too, countries such as China, US, Israel, Russia, South Korea, UK have developed them and have already introduced them after they were trained in warfare.The developments has provoked anger among the human right activists and there has been a demand to stop the introduction of them into the Army.

HR activists say that Robots will destroy civilians along with the enemy as they don't have emotions and they exercise caution as they are run by commands which are predeveloped and these may not reflect the reality of a war. Many other people feel that the introduction would lead to rise in unemployment as many soldiers would be laid off because of improved efficiency of the robots

However, some argue that introduction would reduce the security threats and boost to development and the cost spend on them would be less compared to army deployment and these funds can be utilised for other purposes.

Recently United Nations Organisations has called a meeting "united nations convention on conventional weapons "to discuss this issue and all the countries have opined that robots must be allowed into the army but with some restrictions so that it would be a
win-win situation.

However, the committee meeting was indecisive as countries couldn't figure out what restrictions should be applied and how to implement them and what legal action must be taken if countries violate the orders and the members sought one more year of time so that they would frame some guidelines which may be modified by UNO.

Finally, many activists expressed that UNO has heard their voice and hoped that a decision on restricting military robots may take place.
