Using weapons against civil aircraft is interconnected with several areas: international legal responsibility, prohibition of force, right to self-defense, ethical dilemmas, and the protection of human rights. The arguments presented in this study emphasize that while self-defense provides a theoretical possibility for using weapons against aircraft, there are still ethical challenges and unavoidable rules of international law. Therefore, using weapons against civil aircraft poses several challenges that must be considered in both legal and moral aspects. This paper presents the international legal liability regime for the use of weapons against civil aircraft, as well as its human rights and ethical responsibilities.
