Particular importance is attached to the conclusions contained in the Report of the 2023 session of the Group of Governmental Experts on Emerging Technologies in the Area of Lethal Autonomous Weapons Systems which state inter alia that:-
… “In accordance with States’ obligations under international law, in the study, development, acquisition, or adoption of a new weapon, means or method of warfare, determination must be made whether its employment would, in some or all circumstances, be prohibited by international law. In this context, the voluntary exchange of relevant best practices between States is encouraged, bearing in mind national security considerations or commercial restrictions on proprietary information.”
