UN and Red Cross Renew Call for Rules on Autonomous Weapons Systems
The United Nations and the International Committee of the Red Cross have renewed their joint appeal for countries to adopt bans and restrictions on autonomous weapons systems, often called "killer robots," citing intensified risks. While not calling for a complete ban, they emphasize the need to protect civilians as these technologies rapidly develop. The appeal precedes a November meeting in Geneva aimed at strengthening international rules under the Convention on Conventional Weapons.
