5/5 Let's ponder if the #CCWUN is worth our taxpayers’ money. The fact that various countries are in arrears speaks to how much they value it- and who could blame them? What would a cost-benefit analysis throw? We want the use of OUR limited resources put to good use #Justice #NegotiateNOW

1/5 Each time the #CCWUN addresses #autonomousweapons it demonstrates it's not fit for purpose. What steps has it taken towards a legally binding instrument? Is the situation on other topics in #CCW inspiring?🤣 Can the #CCWUN spoken and unspoken rules➕toxic environment we witness there makes us expect progress? Do decisions reflect the majority's will?

🤔Will 2023 finally see the start of negotiations of a legally binding instrument on #AutonomousWeapons #KillerRobots?🤞We'll see -but discussions are already OUT of the ineffective #CCWUN✅ and this trend will only increase in the coming months😉Why?

tokumeiAsan RT @POLARIS_meiji: こちらが人間の補助装置という前提で問題提起しても「完全自律型以外には規制、禁止は求めない」と言い切って「機会が人間の関与なしに〜」と散々煽った事への総括なしに今さら「人間の関与」云々😮‍💨…その辺が禁止一派に同調も理解も出来ない理由の一つ🤘

Im Mai hat das @ICRC wichtige Forderungen und gute Vorschläge zur Regulierung autonomer Waffensysteme gemacht. Heute beginnt eine wichtige Tagung zu dem Thema.

The @ICRC decision to call for new legal rules on #KillerRobots this year is a game-changer for efforts to achieve international regulation https://www.hrw.org/news/2021/05/13/international-committee-red-cross-backs-killer-robot-ban Sees an urgent need…

Given the urgent need for regulation, it's disappointed that diplomatic talks on lethal autonomous weapons systems have been postponed until 2021 https://www.stopkillerrobots.org/2020/11/pandemic-postpones/ #CCWUN #TeamHuman #KeepCtrl

RT @marywareham
This week @BanKillerRobots confirmed that states will meet on Sept. 21-25 to discuss mounting concerns over lethal autonomous weapons systems. Held virtually + at a physical distance in @UNGeneva, it will be the 1st diplomatic meeting on #KillerRobots since August 2019 #CCWUN
