Additional Information: The figure of the armed drone is most closely associated with the US in the public imagination. However, several European states are already using armed drones and more are following suit. As the armed drone is Europeanised so too are the ethical, legal and political problems the armed drone brings with it – civilian deaths, the perpetuation of conflict and the erosion of transparency and accountability. The Humanitarian Disarmament Forum, an annual gathering of civil society, meets in New York next week and armed drones as well as the possibility of international standards on these technologies will be one of the topics for discussion. With those discussions about to get underway, we believe this is a moment when European states should not only show greater transparency but should actively work with the disarmament community to develop far-reaching restrictions on these problematic technologies at an international level.
