The UK condemns the indiscriminate or disproportionate use of any weapon, and the deliberate targeting of civilians and civilian objects in contravention of the Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons, other relevant instruments and international humanitarian law. Lord Ahmad and the UK's Disarmament Ambassador denounced Russian violations of international law and the UN Charter during speeches to the Conference of Disarmament in March. The UK also led efforts to expedite an ICC investigation into Russian war crimes in Ukraine. We will be forthright in holding Russia to account for the use of indiscriminate force against innocent civilians in its illegal and unprovoked invasion of Ukraine.

The UK delegation will include military and Ministry of Defence (MOD) civilian personnel from the Counter-Proliferation and Arms Control Centre, Development Concepts and Doctrine Centre and Defence Science and Technology Laboratory. A priority for the MOD is to support the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in fulfilling our commitments as a proactive State Party to the CCW. MOD participation will allow us to share our thinking on autonomy, notably as set out in the recently published Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) doctrine note. This forms part of our efforts to build improved understanding at the international level in the debate on Armed Forces' use of remote and automated systems.

The Government of the United Kingdom does not possess fully autonomous weapon systems and has no intention of developing them. Such systems are not yet in existence and are not likely to be for many years, if at all. Although a limited number of defensive systems can currently operate in automatic mode, there is always a person involved in setting the parameters of any such mode. As a matter of policy, the UK is clear that the operation of our weapons will always be under human control. This information has been put on record a number of times, in both Parliament and international forums.
