Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) —generally referred to as drones— have increasingly come into the public eye. “Killing by remote control”, illegal “targeted killings” – the expansion of the use of drone deployments in the civil and military arenas as well as the technological quantum leap to automatization and robotization are being discussed in the national and international fields.

The deployment of drones seems to have no limits and a new dawn of global conventional armament with UAVs seems to be on the rise.

Intensive international debate on and networking in this subject is necessary. This brochure seeks to assist in gaining a more comprehensive overview to the worldwide situation of drones and by this allowing networking in this complex topic. The main points of the brochure are the following:

– The horizontal and vertical proliferation of unmanned aerial vehicles;

– The work towards containment or (a) prohibition of drones.

We hope that this collection of texts and articles will help to increase of international debates around this important topic.
