Lithuania

Unclear or shifting (AMBIG), since 2025-09-03, points both ways (AMBIGUOUS)

Lithuania co-wrote a set of draft articles on autonomous weapons at the Geneva talks. The document is written like the start of a treaty, which points one way. But it never asks for anything new: it spells out what the laws of war already require, and its first article describes what is already prohibited rather than creating a new ban. That points the other way. The text supports both readings and states neither. Reading it as "keep it in Geneva" would mean guessing from where it was filed; reading it as "wants a treaty" would mean guessing from its format. Both are guesses about a silence, so this site marks the position unclear and shows both. Lithuania's own statements would settle it; this site has not yet reviewed them.

Lithuania is a named author of CCW/GGE.1/2025/WP.7, and affirms it in the form a treaty takes, as numbered draft articles.
