Report on the Luxembourg Autonomous Weapons Systems

On 25 and 26th of April 2023, members of the military, institutions, private sector, field experts and  of organized civil society gathered in the south of Luxembourg to discuss the regulation on autonomous weapons systems. The initiative was created by Luxembourg’s Directorate of Defense from the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs. The event was composed of a keynote speech by Paul Scharre on the first day, and five panels on the second, each approaching a different aspect of the debate: politics, defense, regulations, technical and ethics. The event brings to the table the opportunity to fulfill the necessity to include other stakeholders in the conversation, such as the private sector and technicians.
