Drones aren’t the real enemy, poor legal frameworks are

We should not worry about drones so much as about the lack of international regulations around them, argues Conrad Hässler. In an interview for the Global Governance Futures 2025, Hässler, a fellow of the program, debunks common myths against the use of armed drones and points out how, ultimately, it is the legal and political context in which a weapon is applied that will define the frequency and scope of its use. And with the rise of unmanned aerial systems, Europe cannot afford to stand on the sidelines while other actors forge ahead.
