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
As states discuss #AutonomousWeapons at #UNGA80 amid growing global instability and the widening gap between #AI development and regulation, they must remember that this issue is too important for inaction.

“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

As talks kick off at the #CCWUN at #UNGeneva it is time for Australia to support a new legally binding instrument on #autonomousweapons
We’ll be in the room next week as diplomatic discussions on #AutonomousWeapons begin at @UNGeneva. States will be discussing the Chair’s rolling text – which could form the basis of a treaty. They must maintain its integrity move toward negotiations. Time is running out. #CCWUN

NEW DECLASSIFIED AUSTRALIA STORY:

"Ongoing use of the cluster munitions by Russia and Ukraine already caused over 900 casualties in 2022, and the inevitable contamination from unexploded submunitions will cause additional harm to civilians for decades to come." @banclusterbombs @noclusterbombs @ISUCCM
"States Parties have a duty to denounce cluster munition use & transfers that facilitate it. Without concerted pressure, ending these indiscriminate killers of civilians will remain unattainable."
