Grateful to Juliana Miranda, from CELS for the UNGA 1C statement on Torture-Free Trade.
This is a human rights issue, and an export control trade issue - at the heart of it though is the prevention of torture - more action is needed from states to end the trade in tools of torture.

The reality of #KillerRobots on the battlefield is increasing; crucially, the need for robust law is becoming all the more pressing, and more consequential.
The #UNGA offers a fully inclusive space, it is incumbent upon all states move to negotiations of new law with the requisite urgency.

#UNCCW #GGE lethal autonomous weapons systems #LAWS starting now.
@amnesty.org believes that states should consider removing the word ‘lethal’ as it is too restrictive, and lethality is an effect, not a characteristic.
IHRL and IHL govern the use of all weapons, including less lethal weapons.
