I thank @MFA_Austria for organizing the conference. With 140+ countries and 1000 people participating, I felt a strong momentum being built for making urgent progress in the discussions on LAWS. A legally binding instrument prohibiting and regulating LAWS is urgently needed.
Yuki Sakurai @YukiSak62440988, one of our campaigners from @aarJapan joinned us at the UN Headquarters in New York for the #FirstCommittee meetings, where he and other campaigners successfully lobbied states to support the resolution on #KillerRobots
📢🗳️164 states vote in favour of the resolution on autonomous weapons at #UNGA78. This resolution mandates the UN Secretary-General to seek the views of states, @ICRC, civil society & others on autonomous weapons - and is a significant step towards new international law
💥States voted against the machine! 💥
❌🤖This is a historic moment where the first-ever resolution against autonomous weapons systems has just been adopted by 164 states.
