2021 Group of Governmental Experts on Lethal Autonomous Weapons Systems (LAWS) of the Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons Item 5 (b) Characterization of the systems under consideration
August 4, 2021
This Delegation wishes to reiterate that it is only through a solid ethical and legal perspective that we can proceed to analyze the potential functions and technological aspects in order to clarify which kind of systems or specific characteristics would be allowed or prohibited. In this regard, an approach that seeks to exclude those systems that are, in whole or in part, incompatible with IHL and other existing .international obligations, could be of great benefit in adequately characterizing the systems under consideration.
