The concept of ‘meaningful human control’ (MHC) has emerged as a point of coalescence in the discussions on autonomous weapons systems. Primarily, it has been used to describe a threshold of human control that is considered necessary; however, the particulars of the concept have been left open so as to foster conversation and agreement. It is necessary, however, to address in more detail the content of this principle. This paper seeks to do so by offering a framework for meaningful control to a multi-stakeholder audience from a diverse set of professional and academic backgrounds.
