In its intervention, Maat emphasized the necessity of removing ambiguity surrounding the term \u201chuman intervention,\u201d demanding that the definition include full comprehension of the mechanisms of decision-making and formulation. Maat stressed that the aim of this amendment is to ensure the human operator\u2019s ability to review the recommendations formulated by the machine and verify their full compliance with international humanitarian law before pressing the execution button, thereby preventing military decisions from turning into a rigid automated process.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"First session of the Governmental Expert Group on Emerging Technologies in Lethal Weapon Systems\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Gf_P9ADrgAM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen loading=\"lazy\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In a related context, Maat also delivered another intervention containing a critical perspective on paragraph four of item three in the draft. Maat called for the deletion of the paragraph that requires retaining autonomous weapons, considering that the international trend should lean towards restriction, not retention. Maat also renewed its demand for the inclusion of an explicit provision aimed at the comprehensive and clear prohibition of anti-personnel autonomous weapons systems, based on a firm human rights principle that decisions of life and death should not be left to algorithms.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Maat participated in the proceedings of the third session of the Governmental Expert Group on
