Banning land mines didn't help much either. People will use whatever they please to kill each other. Biological and chemical weapons are not used not because they are banned but because they suck as military tool anyway and nukes aren't really economical, all things considered, against anything else but nukes. Countries that treat armies seriously (much less of those than 50 or 100 years ago) are stockpiled sufficiently with all banned weaponary.
Personally I'm all for killer robots. I don't trust humanity of invading army any more than I trust autonomous war machine software. At least terminator won't kill my kids or rape my wife because it's bored.
