"The reproduction of biases that will cause disproportionate harm to already marginalised people is not something that we should merely seek to mitigate: it is abhorrent and fundamentally unacceptable." #KillerRobots #CCWUN

Conversations on #AutonomousWeapons aren’t new. They’ve been happening for over a decade. States must 𝙖𝙘𝙩 𝙣𝙤𝙬 to protect humanity and #StopKillerRobots

📺 We're in the room and ready for today's #CCWUN discussion – follow along with us: webtv.un.org/en/asset/k1b...

Accountability and responsibility for the use and the impacts of #AutonomousWeapons lie with humans NOT machines. Meaningful human control is crucial.

Ishmael Bhila from Virtual Planet Africa takes the floor on behalf of #StopKillerRobots at this morning's #CCWUN session at #UNGeneva.

“Preserving meaningful human control over the use of force is one of the core purposes of a legally binding instrument on autonomous weapons systems.” – Jimena Sofía Viveros Álvarez delivers the #StopKillerRobots statement this morning at #CCWUN

"[Human] control as a principle in international law is crucial for drawing red lines to protect our humanity, and for establishing clearly what we find fundamentally ethically unacceptable as an int'l community." – @rboer.bsky.social delivers #StopKillerRobots statement at #CCWUN

“We believe the progress states have made in their discussions means that the international community can now move to negotiating a legally binding instrument on autonomous weapons systems” – our Policy Manager @elizabethminor.bsky.social takes the floor at #CCWUN

“this issue concerns the future of multilateralism, of international law, and of our shared humanity…autonomy in weapons will not be confined to the battlefield - it will affect law enforcement, border control & other domains of public life” #KillerRobots

Stop Killer Robots members from all over the world are in New York for the first talks specifically on #KillerRobots at the UN 🇺🇳 NYC! This is the first time all states will have a seat at the table. All voices need to be heard if we are to create a treaty humanity needs. 1/🧵

"Withdrawal would increase the risk of civilian death and injury from an indiscriminate weapon of limited military utility. It would also threaten decades of progress on disarmament and international humanitarian law more broadly."

"It is precisely because of the autonomous nature of these technologies that human control over them needs to be explicitly stated and required."
