Recognizing the rapid advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI) with its dual use nature
and its applications in military technology, and the potential implications for global peace
and security,
Reaffirming the principles enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, including the
commitment to prevent the scourge of war and to promote peaceful relations among
nations,
Recognizing the need for a multilateral approach to address the ethical and legal
challenges posed using AI in military applications,
8) Stresses the importance of compliance with the Law of Armed Conflict by ensuring
that any autonomous weapons system must be capable of distinguishing between
combatants and noncombatants, thereby minimizing harm to civilian populations;
10) Invites all nations to ratify the Comprehensive Lethal Autonomous Weapon Systems
Organization (CLAWSO) to develop and implement measures ensuring transparency and
accountability in the use of LAWS, potentially merging its functions with those of the
IAICWS to streamline international efforts while agreeing to an internationally agreed
definition for LAWS with respect to the CDUL;
11) Stating the definition and uses of LAWS:
a) LAWS which are also known as Lethal autonomous weapon systems are the
latest development in Ai weaponry and these autonomous weapons that can
target and apply offence without any human oversight and have machine
learning technology which enables them to learn from their past errors,
b) These weapons can be used in the place of human soldiers and other kinds of
weaponry as they are believed to be more efficient and are said to be more
ethical as this is said to result in decrease of death toll by some degree;
12) Urges all countries to support regulation of using and developing LAWS;
13) Recommends creating a code of ethics as it outlines the values and principles that AI
systems should follow;
16) Further proposes the addition of Humane decision accountability license (HDAL)
which needs to tested in autonomous weapons to see if they have Human decision
making capability with human oversight and all developed autonomous weapons need to
be certified with the HDAL;
17) Further requests all member states to have an official autonomous weapon testing
grounds or the Autonomous weapon testing office (AWTO) which can confirm whether
an autonomous weapon can be certified.
