Research Paper

I need a 5,000-word, fully referenced legal research paper that examines how artificial intelligence is already being deployed—or is likely to be deployed—in contemporary armed conflicts and the challenges this raises under international humanitarian law. The discussion must cover, at a minimum, the principles of distinction, proportionality and precautions in attack, plus the inter-related questions of accountability, human control over autonomous systems and the allocation of legal responsibility. Once the doctrinal analysis is laid out, I want a critical assessment of whether the existing IHL framework is adequate or whether additional regulation is required, drawing on the latest treaty negotiations, UN resolutions, state practice and any recent international or domestic case law that is genuinely on point. The paper must be: • Original, rigorously researched and free of plagiarism. • Footnoted in strict OSCOLA style, with a complete bibliography separated into primary and secondary sources. • Based only on reliable primary materials (e.g., the Geneva Conventions and Additional Protocols, military manuals, official doctrine) and peer-reviewed academic writing. No invented authorities. Deliverables I expect: 1. A Word document (~5,000 words) containing the paper with OSCOLA footnotes and bibliography. 2. A PDF Turnitin or equivalent similarity report. 3. An AI-generation detection scan (e.g., GPTZero or Copyleaks) showing the text is human-written. I will review the citation integrity, the depth of engagement with both technical and legal scholarship, and the overall coherence of the argument before approving the final milestone.
