Statement by Chile

2 September 2026

I do want to dwell on it a moment though because it seems to be particularly important to us. The obligation of a legal review is not the only legal obligation when it comes to the study, development, acquisition or adoption of LAWS. According to article 36 of AP I, any modification that alters the functioning or characteristics of a weapon requires a new revision, and that is covered in sub-paragraph, which for us is therefore a non-negotiable part of the paragraph.
