Mondo Technology Updated on 2024-02-03

Summary.

This paper studies the core issues of current UAV legislation, mainly from the perspectives of the lack of superior law, regulatory system, jurisdictional disputes, and privacy protection. The results of the study reveal the challenges and opportunities of drone legislation at multiple levels, and put forward corresponding suggestions to promote the healthy and orderly development of the drone industry.

Keywords: drone legislation, lack of superior law, regulatory system, jurisdictional issues, privacy protection.

1. Background and significance.

With the rapid development of science and technology, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have shown great potential for application in various fields. However, with the deepening of its popularization and application, the legal issues related to it have become increasingly prominent. Therefore, this paper provides an in-depth understanding of the core issues of UAV legislation, aiming to provide a theoretical basis for relevant policy formulation.

Second, the upper method is missing.

Currently, one of the biggest obstacles to drone legislation is the absence of a superior law. The so-called superior law refers to those legal documents with a high degree of generality and universal applicability, such as constitutions and laws. In the field of unmanned aerial vehicles, such a superior method is rare. As a result, when faced with drone-related issues, various departments and regions often deal with them according to their own set of standards or regulations, resulting in a fragmented and disorderly legal system.

The lack of superior law not only makes UAV legislation lack basic legal support, but also makes UAVs face many problems in production, use, and supervision. For example, due to the lack of a clear legal position, the division of regulatory powers and responsibilities of drones in aviation, transportation, public security and other fields has become ambiguous. Therefore, strengthening the construction of the superior law of UAV legislation is an important prerequisite for promoting the healthy development of the entire UAV legal system.

Third, the regulatory system needs to be improved.

In addition to the lack of superior law, the imperfection of the regulatory system is also a major problem facing drone legislation. With the popularization and application of drones, they are involved in a wider range of regulatory fields, including aviation, transportation, public security, communications, etc. However, at present, the division of powers and responsibilities between various regulatory authorities is not clear, resulting in blind spots or cross-supervision in supervision.

Specifically, the imperfection of the regulatory system is mainly manifested in the following aspects:

1.Regulatory standards are not uniform: At present, the regulatory standards of various regulatory departments for UAVs are not uniform, resulting in many difficulties in actual operation. For example, the aviation department may be more concerned about the flight safety of drones, while the public security department may be more concerned about the privacy protection of drones.

2.Single means of supervision: At present, the means of supervision of UAVs are relatively simple, mainly based on post-event supervision. This means that once a problem occurs, the relevant departments will intervene to deal with it, and the effect of pre-prevention and in-process monitoring cannot be realized.

3.Insufficient regulatory power: Due to the large number of fields involved in drones, the number of regulatory departments has also increased correspondingly, but the regulatory power of various departments is obviously insufficient. This could lead to regulatory gaps in some areas, increasing the risk of drone accidents.

In response to the above problems, we need to further improve the regulatory system for drones. Specific measures include: strengthening communication and coordination between various departments, and clarifying the division of powers and responsibilities; Formulate unified regulatory standards to improve regulatory efficiency; Enrich the means of supervision to achieve all-round supervision before, during and after the event; Strengthen the construction of regulatory forces and improve the level of supervision.

Fourth, the issue of jurisdiction remains to be resolved.

The issue of jurisdiction is also an important aspect that needs attention in the process of drone legislation. Due to the high mobility of drones, their flight range may involve multiple regions or even multiple countries. This raises the question of the division of jurisdiction. Specifically, the lack of clarity in jurisdiction can lead to the following problems:

1.Confusion in the application of law: Due to the lack of clarity in jurisdiction, it may lead to the application of different laws in different regions or countries for the same case, resulting in confusion in the application of law.

2.Difficulty in rights protection: When drone users or related parties need to protect their rights, due to unclear jurisdiction, it may lead to increased costs and difficulties in rights protection.

3.Insufficient cross-border cooperation: For drones flying across borders, there is a need for greater cooperation and coordination between countries, but due to jurisdictional issues, it may lead to insufficient or difficult cooperation.

In order to solve the jurisdictional problem, we need to strengthen the research and ** of relevant aspects. Specific measures include: clarifying the principle of jurisdiction, such as territorial jurisdiction, personal jurisdiction, etc.; Strengthen international cooperation and coordination, and formulate internationally unified legal norms for drones; Strengthen judicial interpretation work, clarify the scope of application of law, and so forth.

V. Results and Discussion.

1.Challenges and space in the absence of a superior law: The lack of a superior law has led to a lack of clear guidelines for drone legislation. However, it also provides an opportunity for policymakers to draw on advanced international experience and formulate more perfect laws and regulations based on China's actual conditions.

2.Deficiencies and room for improvement in the regulatory system: The current regulatory system can no longer fully meet the development needs of the UAV industry. In the future, more technical means, such as big data and artificial intelligence, can be introduced to improve the efficiency and accuracy of supervision.

Jurisdictional Dispute Resolution Path and International Cooperation: Resolving jurisdictional disputes requires strengthening international cooperation and formulating unified international legal norms. At the same time, domestic legislation needs to be clearer and more specific to reduce ambiguity.

3.Challenges and countermeasures of privacy protection: With the expansion of the application scope of drones, privacy protection has become an issue that cannot be ignored. The scope of use of drones and the boundaries of privacy protection should be clarified to ensure that personal privacy is not violated.

6. Summary. The improvement of drone legislation is crucial to promote the healthy development of the drone industry. The main problems currently faced include the lack of superior law, imperfect regulatory system, jurisdictional disputes, and privacy protection. In order to solve these problems, it is recommended that policymakers strengthen international cooperation, improve the regulatory system, clarify the division of jurisdiction, and strengthen privacy protection. Future drone legislation should keep pace with the times and continue to improve to adapt to the evolving needs of drone technology and society. At the same time, attention should be paid to public participation and the opinions of stakeholders to ensure the fairness and effectiveness of legislation.
