" #AutonomousWeapons systems would face difficulties assessing the necessity and proportionality of the use of force...[they] would not have the capacity to interpret complex contexts and would lack distinctly human judgment."

" #AutonomousWeapons systems would in addition create an accountability gap that will not only mean no one will be held responsible for a system’s unlawful action but will also eliminate an important tool for preventing harm."

"In the context of rising geopolitical tensions [and] the increasing pursuit of autonomy in the use of force...moving from common understandings to a legal instrument is now critical and urgent."

"#AutonomousWeapons and all the technologies that go into them will be developed in states with developed and advanced military firms and technological companies...but they will be tested and used on countries of the global south."

"Autonomous weapons are – as all technologies – value laden and facilitate cold, calculated violence at scale."
