Autonomous weapons are not a future scenario, they are already being developed and deployed. The tech community itself has warned that AI systems are becoming harder to predict and control. On a battlefield, unintended consequences cost lives. What does 'human control' look like in the design and use of autonomous weapons? Join experts in AI military policy, international law, and humanitarian action to tackle the question - and why getting it right early matters more than ever. Register now:

After over ten years of discussions within the CCW, the rapid acceleration of military AI risks outpacing international regulation. The 2026 Review Conference is the critical opportunity for states to launch negotiations on a legally binding treaty. Join leading experts in military AI policy, international law and humanitarian action to examine what effective regulation could look like — and why further delay risks allowing problematic practices to become entrenched.

As the race for military AI accelerates and autonomy increases in weapons systems, so do difficult questions about predictability, accountability, human control and compliance with international humanitarian law. Meaningful regulation is not about stopping military innovation. It is about establishing clear limits to mitigate unacceptable risks and uphold the law of armed conflict, while preserving legitimate uses of technology. Join former military, legal and humanitarian experts to discuss how clear rules can preserve the certainty and human judgment needed for effective and lawful military operations. Register now:

Governments face a fundamental choice: Will humans stay in control of the use of force, or will we surrender it to algorithms? As global conflicts multiply and these technologies develop, a decision to delay international regulation is, de facto, a decision to allow unconstrained proliferation and use. Join leading experts in military AI policy, law and humanitarian action to explore what is at stake for civilians, accountability and international security — and why political leadership is needed now.

More than 130 armed conflicts are taking place worldwide, with devastating consequences for millions of people. But it is not too late to reverse course. Changing how wars are fought requires political will. That is why Brazil, China, France, Jordan, Kazakhstan and South Africa, together with the ICRC, launched the Global IHL Initiative - to make respect for international humanitarian law a political priority and limit suffering in armed conflict. At the UN General Assembly, representatives from the six founding States joined the ICRC President in calling for renewed respect for the rules of war. So far, 118 States have formally joined the Initiative. Now, that commitment must translate into action. Learn more about the Global IHL Initiative 👉🏼 http://ms.spr.ly/6049agWMR
