Abstract

Today, it is seen as a significant advantage by
countries that armed unmanned aerial vehicles (AUAV) have made considerable
contributions to terrestrial and air superiority in combat, have asymmetrical
impact, and are time-saving and cost-effective. In addition to all these, the
fact that AUAVs are remotely controlled by operators away from the operation
zone and therefore the absence of life-threatening risk to operators makes
AUAVs practical and advantageous. Furthermore, the fact that the AUAV
operations do not create any additional costs in terms of lives and properties
provides tolerance and support for public policies of these countries. The
basic features that distinguish these armed vehicles from others are as
follows: (i) The ability of decision-makers to follow and contribute to the
process of where and how the AUAV firing will take place. (ii) Possibility of
minimizing the damage to civilians due to the advantage of staying airborne on
the target longer compared to manned aircraft. This article aims to understand
today by making observations in the legal context, as it will be seen in the
coming years that AUAVs will be used more and more. In this way, it is
considered that new approaches to both national security and internal security
can be benefited. Foreseeing the international and national use of these
vehicles will contribute to the preparedness for the effects of these
technologies for life in modern society.

Silahlı İnsansız Hava Araçlarının Uluslararası Alanda ve İç Güvenlikte Sevk ve İdaresine İlişkin Hukuki Saptamalar

Year 2019, Volume: 18 Issue: 36, 43 - 66, 06.11.2019

Abstract

Günümüzde
Silahlı İnsansız Hava Araçları (SİHA)’nın zaman ve mekân üstünlüğü, asimetrik
etkisi, ekonomikliği, kullanıcısının çatışma bölgesinden uzaklığı veya ölme
riski taşımaması ülkeler tarafından önemli bir avantaj olarak görülmektedir.

Ayrıca, SİHA operasyonlarının cana ve
mala ilişkin herhangi bir ilave maliyet yaratmaması bu ülkelerin kamuoyları
nezdinde yürütülen politikalara tolerans ve destek sağlamaktadır. Bu silahlı
araçları diğerlerinden ayıran temel özellikler için ise şunlar söylenebilir:
(ı) Karar vericilerin, SİHA atışlarının nerede ve nasıl yapılacağına ilişkin
süreci takip edebilmeleri ve katkı sağlayabilme imkânı,         (ıı) İnsanlı uçağa göre hedef üzerinde
daha uzun kalma avantajı sayesinde sivil kişilere olan zayiatı en aza
indirebilme imkânı. Bu makale, SİHA’ların önümüzdeki yıllarda daha da fazla
kullanılması durumuyla karşılaşılacağından, hukuki bağlamda tespitler yaparak
bugünü anlamayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu sayede, SİHA’lara ilişkin hem ulusal
güvenliğe hem de iç güvenliğine yönelik yeni yaklaşımların ortaya konulmasına
fayda sağlanabileceği değerlendirilmektedir.
Bu araçların uluslararası ve ulusal alanda kullanımına ilişkin
öngörülerde bulunmak, modern toplumun hayatına giren bu teknolojilerin
etkilerine hazırlıklı olmaya katkı sağlayacaktır.
