"We urge states to take action this year to launch negotiations on an international legally binding instrument on autonomous weapons systems"- @ousmannoor #StopKillerRobots statement at yesterday's #CCWUN meetings on #KillerRobots. Watch the full video ➡️ vimeo.com/805481288

“New specific legally-binding rules are required for autonomous weapons systems” 📢 The @ICRC is the only voice that matters in this #CCWUN debate

States Parties to the #CCWUN (e.g. Finland, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden) must stop saying they want to outlaw systems "completely outside of human control". Because...duh! Who'd build (let alone use) a weapon no one can control? article36.org/wp-content/upl…

In this podcast, @Article36 discusses progress in early 2023 towards a legally binding instrument to regulate autonomy in weapons systems. article36.org/updates/regula…

We’re back in Geneva for Day 1 of #CCWUN. A lot of momentum + expectation for states to follow the example set by Latin America and the Caribbean two weeks ago. States need to draw a clear legal and moral line against machines killing people. Stay tuned #CCWUN #KillerRobots
