On 12 and 13 May, open informal consultations on the issue of autonomous weapons systems, mandated by UN General Assembly Resolution 79/62, will be held at the UN in New York. These consultations will examine the topics raised in the UN Secretary-General’s 2024 report. This report gathered states’ and other stakeholders’ views, and called again on states to adopt a legal treaty to prohibit and regulate autonomous weapons systems by 2026.
This briefing paper provides more in-depth background information on autonomous weapons systems, international discussions so far, and some key challenges and considerations they raise.
