Wants a treaty with bans (LBI-BAN), since 2024-05-25, stated directly (EXPLICIT)

In its May 2024 submission to the UN Secretary-General, Luxembourg said the two-tier approach, banning some autonomous weapons and regulating the rest, is the right answer. It spoke of negotiating a legally binding instrument and wants the Geneva weapons convention to move to a mandate for a new protocol. On this site's scale that is a treaty with bans.
