Støre, Stubb & others behind the initiative must give their negotiators clear instructions: don’t allow a few countries opposed to rules to set the ceiling for everyone else. Secure a mandate to negotiate a new treaty—and, if consensus is once again used as a veto, take such negotiations elsewhere.

The real test for these 20 states comes in November. At the CCW Review Conference, states can launch negotiations on legally binding rules for autonomous weapons. The US, Russia & Israel remain firmly opposed to new binding rules and are working hard to stop any governments from moving forward.

For that topic, we have urgent work to do as AI-enabled weapons are already starting to kill people. New York Times has documented an attack in which a Russian drone, with its final targeting decision left to AI, killed three civilians in Ukraine.

22 countries back call to keep AI ‘under human control’

This is a welcomed initiative at a crucial time but as so many UNGA joint appeals or launches of new groups, it lacks concrete steps for governments to take. Stubb and Støre mentions killer robots using AI for lethal attacks as a specific reason for this initiative. www.politico.eu/article/20-c...

Finnish President Alexander Stubb tells POLITICO he aims to create an international AI institution and hopes to get the U.S. and China on board.

"In the US, communities like mine rely on interstates as hubs of commerce, commuting, and connection to the outside world ... What many people don’t know, though, is that whenever they are near interstates like these, nuclear weapons are often driving right past them."

Hi @atomicbell.bsky.social. I saw a strange comment by you in global dispatches where you say that three states are in violation of the TPNW. Can you tell me which ones? And which provisions of the TPNW they are in violation of? It would be great if you could back such drastic claim up with evidence

Bioweapons: what the world got right, and what comes next. In 1975, the world did something remarkable: it banned an entire category of weapons of mass destruction. No biological weapon has been used in war since. But the risks are growing, the technology is changing, and the work is far from over.

I’m obsessed with this film now! Might even make a pilgrimage to Malta.

It doesn’t really matter if you voted for him or not, this is on all Americans. He is yours, you chose him (twice)! Your country is doing so much harm to the rest of the world. you are rich, powerful, and privileged to still be a democracy. You have absolutely everything you need to change.

Not to say how much time, money and energy all other countries need to spend on dealing with all the shit that the US is doing right now, that should be spent on supporting our own people. The cost of your actions for the rest of us is enormous

111

The US is also regularly stopping the word from agreeing on solutions to huge global problems that will harm many of us (climate change, pollution, AI, global health issues) and actively works to deregulate globally harmful industries.

The US is invading other sovereign nations, killing innocent people, breaks the international system that we built, and creates significant economic suffering & instability all around the world.

Let me be controversial for a minute but all Americans are responsible for this. Your country is the biggest threat to the peace & security of the rest of the world right now. Out of all nations in the world, the US cause the most harm & suffering to people outside its borders now

The current situation we’re in is the result of a choice that some people have made and others have accepted. We don’t have to accept nuclear weapons. If we do, it’s on us when they’re used.

I’ve recieved many messages today, asking if I think he’ll use nuclear weapons. Someone said “what if today is the last day before nuclear war starts?” And all I can think of is that we don’t actually have to live like this. We don’t have to let anyone have the power to end the world

We talked about plastics, and the Geneva talks that failed to produce a final text, the frustration, the tears, and what he would have done differently. Recorded on the day he formally stepped down as chair, this is a rare and unfiltered look at the inside of global treaty making.

How does it feel to spend years trying to bring 190 governments to get an agreement and then fail? In the second episode of #SummitTalks, I talk to Ecuadorian ambassador Luis Vayas Valdivieso about his role as chair of the plastic treaty negotiations.

If the French people don’t want its president to use nuclear weapons, do the rest of Europe want to rely on a security system where we have to hope that the French president disregards democratic will of the people and uses weapons of mass destruction and commits war crimes?

In the Dec 2025 International Law Index, we (via IPSOS) asked French people if they would support its government using nuclear weapons if it says it’s in their security interest. 70% said no, only 13% of French people would support its government in such case. lexinternational.org/wp-content/u...

So, if French nuclear umbrella is supposed to replace US nuclear umbrella, does that mean we have to believe that France would be more likely to use weapons of mass destruction on civilian populations than United States?

Ahead of Macrons speech today where he will present his case for a European nuclear umbrella, I think it’s good to highlight that the French people think Switzerland, a non nuclear armed, non Nato state, is safer from war than France.

Given this week’s news about a conflict between Anthropic & Pentagon over using Claude in all kinds of military operations, this highlights how important it is to get a new treaty on autonomous weapons because we cannot rely on companies doing the right thing. www.newscientist.com/article/2516...

It’s a bit hysterical to have this reaction over some random German dude having a stupid opinion about something. But also, if Germany decides to develop weapons of mass destruction, it’s 100% Germanys responsibility and decision, not Trumps. Nobody can force anyone to develop nuclear weapons.
