@richards1052 You are correct that Art.7 precludes the wrongfulness of restoring to force in the struggle against alien domination (Jus Contra Bellum), I would also note that it does not alter the rules of Jus in Bello, the law that governs the way in which warfare is conducted. Image
@richards1052 According to the principle of equality of belligerents, the Law of Armed Conflict #LOAC applies equally to all parties to an armed conflict - whether they are fighting colonial or alien rule or not - and imposes the same obligations on them.
@richards1052 Also worth recalling that UNGA Res.3210 attaches the struggle for Palestinian self-determination to the Palestine Liberation Organization. Whether non factional militancy could be considered part and parcel of that struggle is a heavily debated question. Image

FR wants its very own JAIC-like cell, the CCIAD, embedded within their Defence Innovation Agency (IAD). (Shout out: FR speakers should follow @KrajeckiMichael). The Coordination Cell for AI in Defence will facilitate efforts on coordination & strategy. p21 for this buried lede
Nice to see that France does not see AI as an end unto itself. Intro is pragmatic & focusses on the weaknesses of second-wave AI systems (although without using the #DARPA-esque vocab), including by noting that #AI does not change the nature of war.
