Keeping it legal to sell ever-more-powerful #slaughterbots globally is such a dumb idea that most nations are discussing a treaty in Vienna today. I love Jaan Tallinn's opening speech: #AWS2024Vienna

When humanity is at the crossroads, we need to take the right turn❗️

Today MFA Austria hosts representatives from 140+ States, int‘l organisations & civil society for the first int’l conference on #AutonomousWeaponsSystems .

Jaan Tallinn tells it like it is. Speed has its perils.

After hearing this we can’t say he didn’t warn us.

#Belgium was the first country in the world to ban both #landmines and #clustermuntions . Belgian MPs can continue this fabulous legacy on 2 May by being the first country in the world to ban #AutonomousWeapons

Go #Belgium Go!

International environment is bad, tensions are high, not everyone will agree on #AWS regulations at first, but that shouldn't stop us from acting now - Austrian FM Alexander Schallenberg #AWS 2024

'...Y que, si hay bronca, que la transforme por la esperanza”.

Anybody who says multilateralism is dead and that treaties don’t matter is not paying attention.

Also in Geneva mine action directors from around the world are meeting to assess progress on the implementation of the landmines and cluster munitions treaties.

#AWS2024 High-level panel highlights ethical, legal, humanitarian, and security issues associated w/ autonomous weapons systems. Who controls the weapons, who's responsible for their use? How soon would non-state actors acquire them?

Always a pleasure to meet with Izumi Nakamitsu! It was great to discuss the importance of outreach to youth and education to empower the next generation of leaders in non-proliferation and disarmament.

Actually, we're past the Oppenheimer moment with #AWS and closer to a Hiroshima moment, we're past testing & into use. But hey, there's good news- lots of people have been thinking & talking abt this for a while - Frank Sauer #AWS 2024

To retain foreseeability to enable IHL compliance, need specific limitations on use, and some systems may not be usable at all. And beyond IHL there are broader ethical considerations- Cordula Droege #AWS2024
