The General Assembly,

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,

Acknowledging the importance of maintaining international peace and security while


ensuring that technological advancements in AI are developed and used in compliance
with international law, including international humanitarian law and human rights law,

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,

Recalling previous resolutions on disarmament and the regulation of armaments,


including resolutions on Lethal Autonomous Weapon Systems (LAWS) and emerging
technologies in lethal autonomous weapons,

Expressing concern about the lack of a comprehensive international framework
governing the ethical development and use of AI in weaponry, which could lead to
unintended escalations and destabilization,

Recognizing the need for a multilateral approach to address the ethical and legal
challenges posed using AI in military applications,

Acknowledging the importance of transparency and accountability in the development


and deployment of AI in military contexts,

Recognizing the potential benefits of AI in improving the precision and effectiveness of


military operations, while also emphasizing the need for responsible use,

Encouraging member states to collaborate on establishing international norms and


standards to govern the development and use of AI in weaponry,

1) Calls upon Member States to develop and adopt a comprehensive international


framework that governs the ethical development, deployment, and use of AI in
weaponry, considering the following principles:
a) Accountability: Ensuring that humans retain ultimate control and accountability over
the deployment and use of AI-enabled weaponry,
b) Transparency: Promoting transparency in the development and deployment of AI in
military applications, including clear communication of the capabilities and limitations of
such technologies,
c) Non-proliferation: Encouraging measures to prevent the proliferation of AI-based
weaponry to non-state actors and terrorist organizations;

2) Urges all member states to establish national and international oversight bodies with
respect to previous conventions responsible for monitoring the development and use of
AI in weaponry, with the mandate to:
a). Monitor the ethical implications of AI in weaponry and recommend adjustments to
existing frameworks as necessary,
b) Facilitate dialogue and cooperation among Member States, the private sector,
academies, and civil society on best practices and emerging challenges such as the
development of LAWS;

3) Recommends the establishment of an UN-led International development society on AI


Weaponry (IDCAI), tasked with:
a) Conducting research on the ethical, legal, and security implications of AI in
weaponry,
b) Developing guidelines and best practices for the responsible development and use
of AI in military applications,
c) Providing technical assistance and capacity-building support to Member States in
developing national frameworks aligned with international standards;

4) Encourages member states to collaborate on updating existing international laws, such


as the Geneva Conventions and the CDUL, to address the unique challenges posed by AI
in weaponry;

5) Proposes the inclusion of ethical AI training in military education programs to ensure


that military personnel understand the implications of using AI in warfare;

6) Recommends the development of systems that require human authorization before


AI can engage in lethal actions;

7) Recommends the initiation of public dialogues to educate and engage citizens on the
ethical implications of AI in weaponry;

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;

9) Recommends the establishment of the International AI Commission of Weapon


Systems (IAICWS) to oversee compliance with these standards;

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;

14) Proposes the ‘Accountability of misuse of conventional weapons protocol’ which


aims to:

Saipem Classification - General


Use
a) In the case of human causalities or violation of the CCW, thus this protocol aims to
fine a penalty or having their head of state be questioned by international investigating
bodies,
b) This protocol will also include ‘The prevention of misuse of autonomous weapon’
clause which prevents the misuse of autonomous weapons with respect to the CDUL and
also that the states need to send the data of LAWS development;

15) Recommends an international regulatory body to be established following the


developments of LAWS and keep monitoring developments while ensuring that human
oversight gets implemented in autonomous weapons;

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.
