UN and Red Cross step up call for international rules on 'killer robot' weapons systems
World4 sources4 countries28m ago
The United Nations and the International Committee of the Red Cross have issued a joint call urging countries to adopt international bans and restrictions on autonomous weapons systems, commonly referred to as "killer robots."
Announced on Tuesday from Geneva, the joint appeal highlights that the risks associated with these advanced military technologies have intensified. This move escalates a yearslong global effort to establish legal limits on autonomous weaponry, an initiative that has previously struggled to produce concrete restrictions.
