128 Countries Agree on Non-Binding Framework for Autonomous Weapons at Geneva Talks
After over a decade of discussions, 128 countries agreed on a non-binding framework addressing autonomous weapons at Geneva talks under the Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons. The agreement aims to guide future international rules on lethal autonomous systems, emphasizing human control over lethal force. While seen as progress, rights groups like Stop Killer Robots criticized the text for diluted language, noting opposition from countries including the US and Russia, which prefer national guidelines over binding international rules.
