Under the leadership of Austria & Panama, @UN_HRC today adopted the first ever resolution on #HumanRights & #EmergingTech in the military domain. Human rights derive from the inherent dignity of the human person, thus decisions over life or death must never be left to algorithms!

Heute breche ich zu einer Arbeitsreise nach New York auf, um mit Bundespräsident @vanderbellen und Außenminister @a_schallenberg an der @UN Generalversammlung teilzunehmen. Ich werde dabei u.a. auch @antonioguterres & Henry Kissinger zu bilateralen Gesprächen treffen 🇺🇳 🇦🇹
Girls in Afghanistan continue to be locked out of the classroom.
This is an unjustifiable violation of equal rights that damages the entire country.
Girls belong in school.
At today’s UN plenary meeting to commemorate #IDANT , Austria🇦🇹stressed the following points:
🔴 Full support to @CTBTO, its valuable work
🔴 Urgent need to bring the #CTBT into force
🔴 Growing support to the complementary prohibition of nuclear tests in the #TPNW
The #NPTRevCon failed to provide answers to their existential threat to #humanity. That is why we need the Nuclear Weapons Prohibition Treaty #TPNW. Like @UN Secretary General @antonioguterres said: “We must abolish nuclear weapons before they abolish us.” #nuclearban 2/2
We are deeply disappointed that the #Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty Conference #NPTRevCon ended with no result. The risks of nuclear conflict and nuclear catastrophe are higher than in decades. #Zaporizhzhia 1/2
As #NPTRevCon wraps up, and despite the disappointing outcome - it was great to spend the four weeks with the great Austrian delegation that always had coffee close, was active throughout and made the long hours fun!
On a side note, time to regrow a beard for me.
The #NPT cements the status quo or even backtracks, but we need fresh #momentum.So these 4 weeks have been a validation&promotion for the #TPNW ,its arguments&rationale. Call on all who want to achieve actual progress on NPT’s Art. VI to join the TPNW #nuclearban
After 4 weeks of intense negotiations, #Austria regrets another #NPTRevCon without substantive agreement due to RU. The draft was very disappointing, yet not surprising - given little agreement on any issue by #nuke#possessors - except no progress on #nuclear#disarmament (1/3)
