It goes without saying that it is desirable that LAWS be regulated to some extent, considering the risk that could arise if it were to be operated without restriction. Conference of LAWS have achieved to some extent, with the adoption of 11 Guiding principles as guideline for domestic operating of LAWS, but there are some difference in that interpretation of that words between participating nations. Therefore, nations submitted of that commentaries, which clarified their claims to certain extent. This paper clarifies the difference of that interpretations of “human responsibility”,“meaningful human control” and“accountability”, which are considered to particularly important elements, and concludes which is the most appropriate outcome in the conference. And in order to reach a conclusion, in addition to the principle of like a distinction and proportionality that have been considered as the principles of the Law of armed conflict, and how to deal with issue of “ethics” will assume a key role.
