Towards an armed drone code of ethics: Eight model principles of responsible use
This Policy Brief addresses the growing need for principled restraint in the use of armed and uninhabited aircraft (drones). Around the world, more governments are acquiring and using armed drones for military and other purposes, but ethical uncertainty persists about what it means to use these aircraft ‘responsibly’. Going beyond the requirements of existing international law, an Armed Drone Code of Ethics could be an effective governance resource for reducing the risk of various injustices that potentially arise from violent drone use.

Abstract
This Policy Brief addresses the growing need for principled restraint in the use of armed and uninhabited aircraft (drones). Around the world, more governments are acquiring and using armed drones for military and other purposes, but ethical uncertainty persists about what it means to use these aircraft ‘responsibly’. Going beyond the requirements of existing international law, an Armed Drone Code of Ethics could be an effective governance resource for reducing the risk of various injustices that potentially arise from violent drone use.
