Over the years technology has permeated even in the defence technology. A dramatic transformation of war took place in the year 1945 with the development of nuclear weapons. Since then, there was no looking back. The nation states have come a long way with the development of gunpowder, nuclear weapons and now with the consideration of developing Lethal Autonomous Weapons System it has moved towards fourth phase of Industrial Revolution. The Lethal Autonomous Weapons System is considered to be such a system which is in the phase of an ongoing development in the field of military technology. However, the transformation in the conduct of wars is not without its detrimental effects. Also, the development of weapons takes place not because the nations are interested to develop, but because of the prestige and the deterrent theory. The development of such technologically advanced weapons which can identify, attack and destroy targets without human intervention is beyond the permissible limits of International Human Rights Law and the Constitutional Standards of Domestic Law. The paper condemns the development of such technologically advanced lethal autonomous weapons system as a conduct of war methodology. The author further emphasizes the limits of the International Law vis-à-vis the Constitutional limits of Domestic Law specifically, India.
