Re: TPNW – ban on killer robots/autonomous weapons – ban on the use and sale of weaponized drones

We, the representatives of 123 non-governmental organisations from some 100 countries want to congratulate Finland for last October having been elected member of the UN Human Rights Council for the period 2022-2024.

Regarding this, You Minister Pekka Haavisto, in a press statement stressed the importance to promote global peace, security and sustainable development and that Finland, as You yourself, has excellent experience of involving civil society in the management of matters.

Your significant announcement, that Finland will work in close cooperation with both domestic and international NGOs and human rights defenders since it is vital that not only the voice of states but also the views and expertise of civil society, researchers and the private sector are heard in the work of the Human Rights Council, gives us great hope.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) (1948) is a milestone document in the history of human rights and was drafted by representatives with different legal and cultural backgrounds from all regions of the world. It sets out the fundamental human rights to be universally protected and it has paved the way for the adoption of more than seventy human rights treaties, applied today on a permanent basis at global and regional levels.

Article 3 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states: “Everyone has the right to life, liberty and the security of person.” Three of the biggest military threats to life today are nuclear weapons, autonomous weapon systems or killer robots and weaponized drones.

A nuclear war would not only cause long–term damage to our planet, but could end life on earth as we know it. Autonomous weapons, commonly known as killer robots that are no longer strictly controlled by human hands, as well as weaponized drones constitute a barbarous threat to humanity.

According to the second edition of the Norwegian People’s Aid’s Nuclear Weapons Ban Monitor over two–thirds of the world’s countries support the TPNW. Furthermore YouGov polls conducted in late 2020 in six NATO countries – Belgium, Denmark, Iceland, Italy, the Netherlands and Spain – show very high levels of public support for their countries to join the TPNW.

Since 2018, the
United Nations Secretary–General António Guterres has repeatedly urged states to prohibit weapons systems that could, by themselves, target and attack human beings, calling them “morally repugnant and politically unacceptable”.

On 15
–16 September 2021, the Austrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs hosted an online conference on Safeguarding Human Control over Autonomous Weapons.

Austria’s Foreign Minister, Alexander Schallenberg and New Zealand’s Minister
for Disarmament, Phil Twyford, presented a strong call for action towards new international treaty that would establish prohibitions and regulations on autonomy in weapons systems. The conference provided a striking illustration of political leadership embracing the need for action on this issue.

A growing number of policymakers, artificial intelligence experts, private companies, international and domestic organisations, and ordinary individuals have endorsed a call to ban fully autonomous weapons.
According to Human Rights Watch 30 countries (August 2020) are calling for a ban on killer robots.

Weaponized drones
are no more acceptable than land mines, cluster bombs, or chemical weapons. The armed drone is a weapon that, because of its unique character, engenders terror and hatred on the ground, regardless of the circumstances in which it is being used.

In a
global petition a broad spectrum of NGOs and over 100.000 persons urge governments to ban the use and sale of weaponized drones. All over the world NGOs are urging their governments to sign and ratify the TPNW as well as to ban autonomous weapons and weponized drones.

Honourable Minister Pekka Haavisto, we sincerely hope for Your dedicated support for these urgent matters, threatening mankind. We urge You to actively push European and other countries to sign the TPNW and to firmly, in the UN Human Rights Council and in the European Union, raise the urgent need for a preemptive ban on the development, production, and use of fully autonomous weapons and for a ban on the use and sale of weaponized drones.
