"It's dehumanising, it's unethical and the decision to take life should not be delegated to a machine. So we hope that states start to talk more about it...and advocate for a prohibition on #AutonomousWeapons systems that target human beings."

We’re at @UNGeneva for the first #UNCCW meeting of 2025.
#GGE Chair @Disarmament_NL and @INakamitsu reiterated states’ agreement to conclude work on the elements of an instrument on #AutonomousWeapons ideally by the end of 2025.
It's time for states to #StopKillerRobots.

Je participais cette semaine à #Vienne à la conférence internationale pour l'interdiction des "robots tueurs", les armes autonomes.
Il s'agit d'un défi urgent pour la paix et la sécurité mondiale.

[TRIBUNE] #ArmesAutonomes: la #France ne peut pas se cacher.
Fière de son statut de membre permanent du Conseil de sécurité @ONU_fr, elle doit en assumer la responsabilité et marcher en tête pour soutenir l’ouverture de négociations en vue d’un traité

Today at the Vienna Conference on Autonomous Weapons we call for new, legally binding international rules, to prohibit those autonomous weapon systems that pose the gravest risk for IHL compliance and our values, and to place strict constraints on all others 👇🏽

Ceding life-and-death decisions to machine sensors and software is a dehumanizing process that undermines our shared humanity" Mirjana Spoljaric, ICRC President

Au sein de la #CCWUN, le sujet n'avance plus. Une solution: lancer des negotiations à l'Assemblée générale des Nations Unies, où une minorité d'Etats ne pourra plus faire blocage. C'est un forum + large, + inclusif...👇

Il est 15h23, la réunion du groupe d'experts gouvernementaux sur les armes autonomes se termine avec près de 3h d'avance. On est pourtant très, très loin d'avancer vers la définition de normes urgemment nécessaires... #CCWUN #RobotsTueurs #StopKillerRobots
