    "title": "The Sound of Drones Is the Sound of Death: Human Rights Violations and Supply Chain Disruptions",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "<p>Drones have become an increasingly integral part of twenty-first century warfare. This Article examines human rights violations and the supply chain disruptions resulting from drone warfare. Three case studies are analyzed: the Russia/Ukraine war, the Israel/Palestine war, and the Sudanese civil war. Modern warfare tactics can be seen in actions taken by the Houthis in West Yemen in response to the Israel/Palestine war, in which unmanned surface vessels, cruise missiles, unmanned underwater weapons, and drones are being used to stop, damage, and sink ships. Such conflicts result in supply chain disruptions. The Russia/Ukraine war has resulted in significant disruptions to the supply chains for energy, wheat, and oil. In addition, it is a basic tenet of international humanitarian law that innocent civilians should not be targeted, yet fully autonomous robots may not be able to distinguish military targets from civilians. There is an urgent need for intervention. This Article provides five recommendations for how to address human rights violations and supply chain disruptions.</p>",
