A number of delegations including Germany have already presented the general outline of their national legal review procedures under Article 36 AP I during this week. We see merit in elaborating further on the idea to share national regulations in this regard, to look for common standards and to discuss specific procedures for detecting transgressions in the direction of LAWS. Germany is of the opinion that given the actual state of the art of artificial intelligence and other important components of LAWS, a legal weapons review for the time being inevitably would lead to the result of LAWS being illegal, as they are not able to meet the requirements set out by Article 36 AP I.
Final Statement by Germany (17 April 2015)
