Wants a treaty, terms open (LBI-OPEN), since 2024-05-18, stated directly (EXPLICIT)

In its May 2024 submission to the UN Secretary-General, Serbia said lethal autonomous weapons should be banned or their production restricted and their use monitored, and that international conventions should regulate their use. That is a call for treaty rules, but Serbia left open whether those rules should ban anything outright. On this site's scale that is a treaty with its terms left open.

Serbia says these systems should be prohibited, or restricted and monitored.
