Event: Multilateralism and Armed Drones: Escaping the Gridlock
Armed drones continue to proliferate, and States remain largely silent on their legal justifications guiding targeted drone strikes. Without bold leadership and multilateral collaboration, the global community remains at risk of unchecked proliferation and irresponsible use and export of drones.
In this webinar, on October 22, experts will discuss current trends, initiatives, and opportunities that could be undertaken in a multilateral and collaborative process to build meaningful standards on the proliferation and use of armed drones.
Speakers:
Agnes Callamard, UN Special Rapporteur on Extrajudicial Killings
Maritza Chan, Deputy Permanent Representative of the Mission of Costa Rica to the United Nations, New York
William Malzahn, Senior Policy Advisor, Office of Conventional Arms Threat Reduction, U.S. Department of State
Rachel Stohl, Vice President, Stimson Center
Wim Zwijnenburg, PAX and European Forum on Armed Drones
