The law of weaponry has an important place as a sub-branch of international humanitarian law or the law of war as part of international relations and international law. Contemporary international organizations, non-governmental organizations, world public and states are more sensitive towards the implementations of the humanitarian law or the law of armed conflict (LOAC) compared to a century ago. The law of weaponry has progressed significantly through the development of weapon technology, the introduction of new concepts of LOAC and the adoption of the universal principles for the St. Petersburg Declaration. Because of the increasing use of air power in armed conflicts and its decisive role in the outcome of the wars, the bound and interaction between the law of weaponry and the concept of air power is more apparent. The disregard of law of weaponry by the air forces can cause issues of judicial, political, and humanitarian in both international and national arenas. It is a good example that the ignorance of the law of weaponry and armed conflict by the USA during the Vietnam War and its violations and the resulting wide media coverage caused the change of the US war policy.
Particularly, significant progress has been made in the law of weaponry since the second half of the 20th century. The chemical and biological weapons are strictly prohibited and almost all of the states signed and ratified the Conventions. In a possible use of weapons of mass destruction in the conflicts, even international intervention can come into the agenda. Concerning with conventional weapons, the prohibition of the anti-personnel landmines and cluster bombs should be considered as two most important steps. Today and in the future, the use of DU munitions, Unmanned Aerial & Combat Vehicles, Cyber War and Autonomous Weapon systems with Nanotechnology, which are all subjects of the law of weaponry, have created concerns in terms of humanitarian law. In conclusion, the implications of humanitarian, international politics, and international law of use of air power are evaluated on the basis of the law of weaponry in this study.

New military technological developments such as Nano robots and Autonomous Weapons Systems have caused new debate and concerns in terms of International Conflict and Weaponry Law. In this respect, many examples of Autonomous Weapon Systems (AWS), the joint product of information, sensors and aviation technologies, have been used by many armies. Conflict and weaponry law experts are raising the alarm that the development and deployment of the Autonomous Weapon Systems in the theater of conflict will create new problems in terms of International Weaponry Law and International Relations. In this study, the description of AWS is made; the possible use of lethal AWS is evaluated in terms of International Weaponry Law and assessed with regard to International Politics. Finally, this study is prepared in order to describe these potential problematic issues and establish solutions in the context of existing offensive Autonomous Weapon Systems.

The navies were originally planned to be used for coastal defense purposes only because of their insufficient capacities. But submarines have been transformed into a serious striking force by increasing their capacities and range thanks to generators operating with steel, battery, and gasoline. In the First World War, the Germans used the submarines for the first time in order to attack the enemy logistic convoys in the high seas instead of the coastal protection mission. In 1917, this new war concept would force the United Kingdom to surrender, which would almost succeed. At this point, the comparative analysis of the German Navy's success with the U-Boats in the first and second world wars will be examined in this study.

Bilgi, sensör ve havacılık teknolojilerinin müşterek ürünü olan Otonom Silah Sistemlerinin (OSS) örneklerini birçok ordu tarafından kullanılmaya başlandığını gözlemlemekteyiz. Bu kertede çatışma ve silah hukuku uzmanları tarafından Otonom Silah Sistemlerinin kullanımı ve geliştirilmesinin Uluslararası Silah ve Politik açıdan yeni sorunsallar yaratacağı değerlendirilmektedir. Bu çalışmada mevcut OSS'lerden örneklerde verilerek muhtemel sorunsalları ortaya koymak ve kullanımlarına yönelik çözüm yollarına ışık tutmak amacıyla hazırlanmıştır.
