ABSTRACT
This research identifies the complicated dynamic between today's drone technology and state sovereignty, as this study investigates how the potential of the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) disrupts our traditional conceptions of territorial integrity and authority. This Piece is researched because drone operations can easily cross borders with increasingly little form of consent internationally, creating tensions in diplomacy and legal challenges within international law. The research will utilize both doctrinal and comparative methodology; it will analyse India's Drone Rules 2021, the frameworks of international treaties, cases studied from conflict within Pakistan and Yemen, and look at the UAV from a military perspective and humanitarian drone applications. The analysis of factual information will draw from distinctions between international law, state practice, and human rights to identify and measure responses and gaps in regulatory frameworks across jurisdictions. The implications reveal that drones may provide certain advantages to security regimes and humanitarian applications. However, these advantages are realized with alarming risks of sovereignty violation that require immediate approaches to improve the international framework of response and international legal update.
