#CLCInterviews on LAWS Our next interview was with Luís Campani, a Brazilian researcher who spoke about the difference between automated & autonomous weapons systems, and the ethical dimension of reducing humans to a collection of HEX codes Read here: rsilpak.org/2023/automated…

stopkillerrobots.org/news/states-ad… Continued failure to create new international standards + norms will have consequences for real people, unaware now that their lives will be changed by the actions of those involved at the #CCWUN. At the #UNGA in Oct, states have another opportunity to act. #KillerRobots

@BanKillerRobots after the final consideration from 🇷🇺, High Contracting Parties have gone to informals

IA will be live tweeting from the room at #CCWUN this afternoon. It is the last day of the second session on autonomous weapons. @BanKillerRobots

@BanKillerRobots 🇷🇺clarified that they’ve suggested to take ”relevant ethical perspectives” away from the document and that they don’t see the need for the removed part because the group haven’t discussed a future mandate for the group.

@BanKillerRobots 🇮🇪 questioned the removal from ”relevant ethical perspectives” and of 🇵🇰suggestion

@BanKillerRobots 🇵🇸 said this text is far below expectations and none of the preoccupation reflect on the text, since it merely ratify that IHL applies to LAWS. Has requested that the last sentence read “it’s needed to uphold compliance with applicable international law”

@BanKillerRobots Last formal statements from 🇺🇸🇵🇸

@BanKillerRobots 🇦🇷thinks that we have a clearer text now, and it's ready to support the text

@BanKillerRobots 🇵🇦supported previous changes

@BanKillerRobots 🇧🇪Shared the concerns manifested by 🇵🇰, 🇨🇺

@BanKillerRobots 🇷🇺Questioned the part between “ethical perspectives” and “the group concluded that” and supported the 🇬🇧 proposal

@BanKillerRobots 🇨🇭Had another proposal, but endorsed the 🇬🇧proposal

@BanKillerRobots 🇬🇧Methods of warfare “if their use is prohibited” (by IHL)

@BanKillerRobots 🇦🇺Questioned the use of the words “norms of” in the last sentence

@BanKillerRobots 🇨🇺 shared Pakistan’s concern.

@BanKillerRobots 🇵🇰 Questioned the sentence “Through which methods of warfare are used” before the word “control”

@BanKillerRobots This is the new version of paragraph 20 of the conclusion

@BanKillerRobots After informals, the chair said that the document crafted will be able to capture progress made on prohibitions. If there are no agreements until 18:30 (CET) the meeting will proceed in informal mode

“Failure here is a collective one”. Chair Damico tells diplomats on the final day of the #CCWUN. So we’re asking, ‘If not now, when? If not here, where?’ The credibility of the CCW is in question. States need to act to ensure we avoid a world where we permit the killing of people by machine. #KillerRobots
