Abstract
The Russia-Ukraine conflict has portrayed a
modern warfare with advanced technology. Autonomous Weapon Systems (AWS) were
used in this war, including the AI-powered weapon drones. This situation has
broken international humanitarian law (IHL) because it can violate its
principles, which are distinction, proportionality, and precautions. And, the
result of it makes countries collaborate with each other to improve their
technology and development of AI in a military context, in other words, a new
alliance or bloc to improve technology. Lastly, the use of AWS has harmed
civilians and objects that contradict the principles. This status quo has
defined neorealism and techno-nationalism as the theory and conceptual
framework to identify the problem from the perspective of IR. The novelty of
this article was to illustrate the impact of the AWS usage in the
Russia-Ukraine war in the context of national strategic or strategic alliances,
and how the weapons are pushing states to develop more autonomous weapons for
military needs
