Disarmament and Internacional Security Committee
The Proliferation of Autonomous Weapon Systems in Modern Warfare
The Proliferation of Autonomous Weapon Systems in Modern Warfare
In an era where geopolitical interests, technological advancements, and global security intertwine, one issue stands at the forefront of international debate: the use and proliferation of autonomous weapon systems.
As technology increasingly shapes the future of warfare, autonomous weapons bring forth critical questions about the ethical, legal, and moral boundaries of modern conflict. These systems, capable of operating without human intervention, raise alarming concerns about accountability, sovereignty, and human rights in warfare. Who is responsible for a life-and-death decision made by a machine? How can we ensure these weapons do not violate international humanitarian law?
The committee “Disarmament and International Security Committee: The Proliferation of Autonomous Weapon Systems in Modern Warfare” delves into the challenges posed by a world where machines can determine the fate of entire populations. Delegates will explore the risks, benefits, and dilemmas of these technologies, tackling recent cases like the use of drones and robotic weapons in the Middle East and the growing arms race between global powers such as the United States, China, and Russia.
Throughout the sessions, participants will be tasked with proposing regulations to control the use of these technologies in warfare, balancing the need for military innovation with the preservation of human rights and global peace. This isn’t just about containing the spread of advanced weaponry; it’s about shaping how humanity will confront the tools of destruction in the future.
In this committee, you have the chance to influence the trajectory of tomorrow’s wars. Join us and be part of the conversation that will define the future of global security.
