Supports the negotiation of a legally binding instrument.
Andorra supports the negotiation of a legally binding instrument on autonomous weapons systems. In 2023, Andorra endorsed the Ibero-American Summit Communiqué on the social and humanitarian impact of autonomous weapons, which states that ‘the delegates of the Ibero-American States recognise the need for new actions to: Collaborate to promote the negotiation of a legally binding international instrument, with prohibitions and regulations regarding autonomy in weapons systems, in order to ensure compliance with International Law, including International Humanitarian Law and International Human Rights Law, ethical perspectives, as well as the prevention of the social and humanitarian impact that autonomy entails in weapons systems.’
Andorra is not a state party to the Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons (CCW), and has not participated in any meetings of the CCW Group of Governmental Experts on Lethal Autonomous Weapons Systems.
