Former U.S. Air Force Secretary
As a humanitarian and a human rights attorney, I’m all for effective arms control, but effective means meaningful and enforceable. Given that lethal autonomy is essentially with us now, as many examples show, I don’t see how an effective arms control regime is possible.
