I'm attending the 5th Review Conference of the #ChemicalWeapons Convention this week. It's @hrw's first participation in a CWC meeting after years of being denied entry. Yet inexplicably other civil society groups are still blocked hrw.org/news/2023/05/1… #CWCRevCon #RevCon5

I had the opportunity to attend the #NATO-Industry Forum in Berlin yesterday and the day before, and to moderate the session on autonomy in warfare. A few observations (thread)

EU-NATO relations were a big topic, with lots of discussion of the European Defence Fund, PESCO, etc. Everyone, including EU commissioner @EBienkowskaEU and Gen Sec Stoltenberg emphasised that Europe's defence efforts are complementary and not in competition with NATO...

Luckily this also creates space for reflexivity, in the way art, literature and science can help us understand ourselves and our societies.

.@WestworldHBO also clearly reiterates that we should not fall into the trap of technological determinism, but that doesn't mean that technology doesn't have its own materiality.
'Technology is a very human activity - and so is the history of technology.'

Have you been ignoring #autonomousweapons for the past 18 months and are now suddenly scrambling to catch up before the #CCWUN #LAWS #GGE next week? (You know who you are...) Congrats, your procrastination has been rewarded! Here's your handy autonomous weapons reading list... 1/
First, homework. The official #CCWUN food-for-thought paper by the chair. Gotta read it. Super short, tho. undocs.org/ccw/gge.1/2017… 2/
