JOIN THE DEBATE AND VOTE

The Geneva Academy of International Humanitarian Law and Human Rights and the Swiss Chair of International Humanitarian Law are organizing a debate on autonomous weapons.

Two prominent speakers will debate for or against the motion. Each will have a 15 minute presentation, then a five minute right of reply. The audience can then ask questions and join the debate, and finally vote on who has won the argument.

The debate will be moderated by Noam Lubell, Professor of Law at the University of Essex and Swiss Chair of International Humanitarian Law at the Geneva Academy of International Humanitarian Law and Human Rights.
