Comment by Izumi Nakamitsu
UN disarmament chief
The Secretary-General has always said that using machines with fully delegated power, making a decision to take human life is just simply morally repugnant. It should not be allowed. It should be, in fact, banned by international law. That's the United Nations position.

Verified: This is from Izumi Nakamitsu, UN High Representative for Disarmament Affairs, made in May/June 2025 in connection with UN informal consultations on LAWS. The UN Geneva URL was blocked by WebFetch, but multiple secondary sources (UN News, Mirage News, GlobalSecurity, Stop Killer Robots) confirm the exact quote and attribution to Nakamitsu, conveying SG Guterres's position that fully autonomous weapons making life-or-death decisions are "morally repugnant" and should be banned. Year 2025 is correct. The vote "for" Ban autonomous lethal weapons aligns perfectly.
