What does it want?

Position: unclear or shifting (AMBIG). Has said things that point in more than one direction.

Unclear or shifting (AMBIG), since 2023-10-23, points both ways (AMBIGUOUS)

Greece has said since 2023 that it supports the two-tier approach, which bans some autonomous weapons and regulates the rest, and that the Geneva weapons convention, the CCW, is the right place for it. It has spoken of shaping an international instrument and of further codifying international law, but it has never said whether that instrument should be binding. So its words point toward prohibitions while leaving the form open.

Greece supports the two-tier approach discussed in the Geneva expert group.
