Topic: The Impact of Military Robotisation on Global Security: Advancing AI for Peace and
Combating Terror-Crime Networks
Submitted by: Russian Federation
The Disarmament and International Security Committee,
Acknowledging the accelerated integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and autonomous
robotic systems into military doctrines by various Member States, particularly without a
global consensus on ethical, legal, and security standards,
Recalling the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations, notably Article 1
concerning the maintenance of international peace and security, and Article 2(7)
emphasizing non-intervention in matters within the domestic jurisdiction of States,
Bearing in mind the 2015 “Guiding Principles” adopted by the Group of Governmental
Experts on Lethal Autonomous Weapons Systems (LAWS) under the Convention on Certain
Conventional Weapons (CCW), which underline the need for meaningful human control over
critical functions of weapons systems,
Recalling further General Assembly resolutions 73/27 on developments in the field of
information and telecommunications in the context of international security, and 76/76 urging
transparency and confidence-building measures related to emerging technologies,
Alarmed by the potential destabilization of strategic balances resulting from the unchecked
militarization of AI and robotics, particularly by select technologically advanced States,
Noting with concern the threat that autonomous military technologies, if proliferated without
control, pose to international peace, including their possible acquisition by terror groups and
transnational criminal organizations,
Determined to promote a fair, equitable, and secure international environment where
emerging technologies are used exclusively for peaceful purposes and the collective benefit
of humanity,
Establishes an International Convention on the Regulation of Military Artificial Intelligence
and Robotic Systems (ICRMAIRS), to be opened for signature within six (6) months of the
adoption of this resolution, with the objectives of:
a. Prohibiting the development, deployment, and transfer of fully autonomous lethal weapon
systems operating without meaningful human oversight;
b. Regulating the research and deployment of military-use AI to ensure compliance with
international law and humanitarian principles;
c. Encouraging international cooperation on AI systems for peaceful purposes such as
counter-terrorism, disaster relief, and safeguarding critical infrastructure;
Defines the following restrictions and regulatory measures, to be implemented within
thirty-six (36) months after the Convention’s entry into force:
a. All deployed autonomous military systems must incorporate verified human-in-the-loop or
human-on-the-loop mechanisms for any use of force;
b. The deployment of fully autonomous weapon systems in active combat zones shall be
prohibited;
c. Data and algorithm transparency requirements shall be imposed on military AI systems to
prevent bias, ensure reliability, and uphold accountability;
d. No AI-enabled unmanned systems shall be used for targeted killings outside
internationally recognized conflict zones;
Decides that no Member State shall permit the stationing, deployment, or transit of fully
autonomous lethal systems on foreign soil without express consent and transparent
notification to the United Nations;
Calls upon all Member States to integrate these regulations into national defence policies,
export control regimes, and strategic planning documents to ensure global compliance;
Invites the United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research (UNIDIR) and the
International Telecommunication Union (ITU), in cooperation with the United Nations Office
for Disarmament Affairs (UNODA), to:
a. Establish a verification mechanism consisting of on-site inspections, system audits, and
transparency reporting;
b. Maintain a centralized database of military AI systems deployed or under development,
accessible to all Member States;
c. Publish biannual reports assessing compliance and technological developments;
Establishes an International Oversight Commission (IOC) composed of elected
representatives from all regional groups to:
a. Resolve disputes related to the interpretation and application of the Convention;
b. Consider proposals for further updates to the Convention in response to technological
advances;
c. Promote voluntary confidence-building measures such as mutual inspections, observer
missions, and expert dialogues;
Encourages Member States to negotiate, under United Nations auspices, an Additional
Protocol to the Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons specifically addressing the
risks of fully autonomous systems;
Calls upon the United Nations Secretary-General to report annually to the General
Assembly on the implementation of this resolution and progress made toward the entry into
force of the International Convention;
Urges all Member States, regional organizations, and civil society actors to provide
technical, legal, and financial support for initiatives enhancing the peaceful development of
AI and robotic technologies;
Decides to remain actively seized of the matter until the establishment of a robust,
universally respected international regime governing the military use of artificial intelligence
and robotics.
Honourable Chair, distinguished delegates,
The Russian Federation draws urgent attention to the unchecked militarisation of artificial
intelligence and robotics, which threatens global security and strategic stability. Without clear
international regulation, the risk of escalation, miscalculation, and misuse by terrorist and
criminal networks continues to grow.
The proposed resolution seeks to establish a fair and transparent international framework to
regulate military AI, prevent the deployment of fully autonomous lethal systems, and ensure
that new technologies serve peace and collective security.
Cooperation, oversight, and the reaffirmation of sovereignty are essential to prevent the
destabilising consequences of unregulated technological advancement. The Russian
Federation calls upon all Member States to support this initiative in the interest of lasting
global peace and security.
Thank you.
