children due to their use in targeting attacks are indiscriminate.
From the results obtained, as the development of weapons such as Combat

legal seal the document. Therefore, countries that are currently using drone
technology should agree to establish the rule of law, so that there is no legal vacuum
in the regulation on the use of drones especially relating to its use as a weapon in
