Abstract: The goal of this article is to expand the awareness of military-political figures on the special meaning of legal assessment of hybrid war against Syria, as well as inform them on the existing results of scientific research on the topic. The relevance is substantiated by insufficient familiarization of public with the mechanism of undue influence on the Syrian Arab Republic by the world backstage of the West. The author presents the new texts pertaining to the subject in question reduced to the three groups. The first group combines the publications of scholars, who described the phenomenon of “hybrid war” in Syrian conflict. The second group includes the works of scholars, who examined the aspects of international humanitarian law in the conditions of hybrid warfare against Syria. The third group is limited by findings of the experts, who explained the motives of negative attitude of world backstage of the West towards the fate of legitimate regime / Syrian citizens. The scientific novelty consists in substantiation of the need for introducing the concept of “hybrid war” into legal field and recognizing it as equal crime against humanity as a regular war. The main results of this work lies in the proof that formalization of the concept of “hybrid war” and its introduction into the legal field of international community would contribute to ensuring security of Russia, as well as enhancing its international authority.

Abstract: The subject of this research is the application of autonomous robots of various designation. The object of this research is the occurring legal and moral-ethical aspects. The work is conducted on the example of the use of robotics in military sphere. Analysis of peculiarities of the modern military actions demonstrated that one of the revolutionary aspects in military sphere lies in implementation of robotics in the battlefield. However, the implementation of this trend generates certain problems in the legal and humanitarian sphere. As with any weapon, use of battlefield robots can results in critical errors, divided by the experts in the errors of first and second type. In robotics, the primary cause of such errors consists in functionality of software of robotic systems. If for conventional armament the consequences of these errors are predictable and responsibility is established, then in the case of using battlefield robots, the situation requires a solution. Based on the general review of the legal and moral-ethical problems of using mobile robots, possible consequences and causes of occurrence of errors of first and second type, the article synthesizes articulation of the scientific task of solving the problem of allocation of responsibility between developers and users of such systems.
