The Lethal Autonomous Weapons Systems (LAWS) are military systems that are designed to operate autonomously, without direct human intervention and with the ability to select and attack targets on the battlefield. The development and use of LAWS raises important legal debates, especially regarding criminal liability for damage caused. For this reason, it is necessary to determine the legal-criminal consequences of the use of LAWS in the process of selecting military objectives when developing a military operation. Through a descriptive methodology, it can be stated LAWS can perfectly commit an indiscriminate attack that would go against International Human Law which can be converted as a war crime.
