Campaign to Stop Killer Robots

The Campaign to Stop Killer Robots is an international coalition of non-governmental organizations, academics, and activists working to prevent the development and deployment of fully autonomous weapons systems. Founded around 2012, the campaign operates across multiple countries and coordinates advocacy at the United Nations, national governments, and international forums to establish legal restrictions on lethal autonomous weapons before they become widespread. The campaign's work includes research on the technical and ethical implications of autonomous weapons, public awareness campaigns, and direct engagement with policymakers. It brings together diverse stakeholders including human rights organizations, roboticists, and peace advocates to argue that meaningful human control over weapons systems is essential for international humanitarian law and human rights protection. The coalition has become a leading voice in global discussions about autonomous weapons regulation, contributing to ongoing UN discussions on lethal autonomous weapons systems (LAWS) and influencing national military policies.
