By Miami Law Staff Report

Professor Markus Wagner presented at the University of Giessen in Germany on “Autonomous Weapon Systems Meet the Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons.” The lecture was partially based on a number of articles published by Professor Wagner on autonomous weapon systems. His most recent article in this field was published by the Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law and is titled "The Dehumanization of International Humanitarian Law: Legal, Ethical, and Political Implications of Autonomous Weapon Systems". Professor Wagner was also invited to discuss a paper by Professors Ugo Pagallo and Massimo Durante on the “The Pros and Cons of Legal Automation and its Governance.” The discussion was part of a conference organized by the University of Saint Gallen / Switzerland titled “The Man and The Machine: When Systems Take Decisions Autonomously.” Professor Wagner teaches and writes in the areas of international law, constitutional law and comparative law. In addition to the topic of autonomy, he has also been a productive scholar in the area of international economic law.
