A third assumption is that the use of future LAWS, as any other means of warfare, must comply with the applicable rules of IHL. In fact, prudent employment of LAWS may even promote compliance with IHL. In this context, it seems that states should, when considering a lethal autonomous weapon system, subject the system in question to an internal legal review. Such a review would consider the applicable rules of international law regarding the proposed system.
