The notion that deploying drones will enable militaries to conduct war with greater precision and less civilian harm is neither new, nor accurate argues the IRW team in an op-ed for the Dutch newspaper the NRC.

Whilst a deluge of video clips showing drone-captured footage of air and missile strikes on seemingly defenceless ground vehicles led some to proclaim the ‘death of the tank’, this may have been an overestimation of the real impact drones had in the conflict.

A panel of experts discuss current trends, initiatives, and opportunities in building meaningful standards on the proliferation and use of armed drones.

This webinar addresses the trends in global drone development and use, and discusses where campaigners should be focusing their efforts in the coming years.

This IRW project tracks and analyses the political rhetoric and narrative of armed drones in the Netherlands.
