As adopted, this year\u2019s resolution is a modest approach which attempts to demonstrate complementarity and support for the current mandate of the Group of Governmental Experts on lethal autonomous weapons systems (GGE LAWS), without prejudging its outcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-stop-killer-robots wp-block-embed-stop-killer-robots\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"u4mAEIwEKf\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stopkillerrobots.org\/news\/156-states-support-unga-resolution\/\">156 states support UNGA resolution on autonomous weapons<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&#8220;156 states support UNGA resolution on autonomous weapons&#8221; &#8212; Stop Killer Robots\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stopkillerrobots.org\/news\/156-states-support-unga-resolution\/embed\/#?secret=W3cXALAeaK#?secret=u4mAEIwEKf\" data-secret=\"u4mAEIwEKf\" width=\"525\" height=\"296\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With growing digital dehumanisation, the Stop Killer Robots coalition works to ensure human control in the use of force.
