Comment by António Guterres
UN Secretary-General
Machines selecting and engaging their target and taking a life – without human control and judgment. That is morally repugnant. It is politically unacceptable. And it must be banned by international law.AI Verified source (Jul 6, 2026)

The quote is directly about lethal autonomous weapon systems in the source context: the speaker identifies them as machines that select and engage targets and take human life without human control, then says they should be banned by international law. That makes the quote squarely on-topic for the complete statement and gives a clearly determinable stance signal.

Explicitly for: in the source speech, the author is referring to “lethal autonomous weapon systems” and says they “must be banned by international law,” which directly supports banning autonomous lethal weapons.
