What does this state want?
Coded LBI-OPEN: Supports negotiating a legally binding instrument, form unspecified.
LBI-OPEN since 2024-08-26, EXPLICIT
Supports negotiating a legally binding instrument, form unspecified.
Norway states plainly that it supports developing a legally binding instrument to clarify how international humanitarian law applies to autonomous weapons systems, supports the two-tier approach, and co-authored the seven-state elements paper with Bulgaria, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, and Luxembourg. LBI-OPEN rather than LBI-BAN: the anchor quote supports a binding instrument to clarify IHL application, without itself framing the instrument around a prohibition; the coding follows the state's own formulation.
Norway supports a legally binding instrument clarifying IHL application to autonomous weapons.
