[Ambassador Clare Walsh 🇦🇺 🇺🇳 @AustraliaUN_GVA]

Transparency in disarmament is central to peace and security.

We brought together experts to workshop transparency improvements across multilateral instruments.

As #CCM Transparency Coordinator, we're building momentum toward the CCM Review Conference in September.

A latest analysis on global weaponisation of AI, Australia’s position in R&D and diplomacy, still at odds with responsible development despite strong and welcome remarks from Foreign Minister Wong that “decisions of life and death must never be delegated to machines”

It’s imperative Australia shows commitment to urgently needed action on #autonomousweapons this #UNGA80

[Stop Killer Robots @BanKillerRobots]

“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 #AutonomousWeapons systems.” – our Policy Manager @elizabethminor3 takes the floor at #CCWUN #StopKillerRobots

[Australia Stop Killer Robots Campaign @ban_kr_aus]

As talks kick off at the #CCWUN at #UNGeneva it is time for Australia to support a new legally binding instrument on #autonomousweapons

Ahead of two important conferences on #AutonomousWeapons and the urgent need for regulation in #Vienna 🇦🇹 Deadbeat Hero, a Vienna-based artist, created this mural for us which captures the spirit of our campaign:

More humanity, less autonomy ⚡

"... including risks of an emerging arms race, lowering the threshold for conflict and proliferation including to non-state actors.”

Early this month, Aus, Fiji & Kiribati joined 141 other states at the Humanity at the Crossroads Conference on #AWS in Vienna. Looking ahead to the SecGen’s report on AWS, we are eager to see positive engagement from Aus & continued support for our goals from the Pacific Islands

[Safe Ground Inc @SafeGroundInc]

🇰🇮Kiribati took the floor to express their concerns of AWS:

“As a small island Pacific state, we share concerns of possible negative consequences and the impact of AWS on global security and regional & international stability..."

[Safe Ground Inc @SafeGroundInc]

Inspired to work alongside such motivated and inspiring campaigners from across the world over the past two days at #HumanityAtTheCrossroads conference on #AWS.

We will continue to advocate for a legally binding instrument until the job is done.

[Stop Killer Robots @BanKillerRobots]

The 🇦🇹 gov't conference on #AutonomousWeapons in Vienna concluded yesterday with a chair's summary affirming commitment to new int'l law on #AWS

Militarised #AI used by #Israel is causing killings at unprecedented speed and scale. Israel’s use of #AI-powered target recommendation system #Lavendar in #Gaza violates #IHL & demonstrates deadly #DigitalDehumanisation in conflict.🧵rep of State of #Palestine at #AWS2024Vienna

[Matilda Byrne @tbyrne11]

At #AWS2024Vienna #HumanityAtTheCrossroads the representative of #Palestine highlighted the “extremely urgent real-life case of the use of #AWS against the Palestinian people…we are now witnessing an automated genocide, an #AI -powered genocide

We are pleased with the political engagement and will demonstrated this far but parliament debate and action must grow at this moment #AWS2024HumanityAtTheCrossroads

[Australia Stop Killer Robots Campaign @ban_kr_aus]

It’s time Australia joined the growing world majority on a commitment to a legally binding instrument. 🧵Many #parliamentarians have highlighted this need over the last few years and the international momentum is mounting

What has Belgium ever given the world beyond excellent beer and frites with mayonaise?

Come Thursday, I hope to add a ban on killer robots to this list! #AI @BanKillerRobots
