UN High Commissioner reacts to Russian attack with autonomous drone: "I am horrified"

The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Turk, expressed his horror at the attack with fully autonomous drones launched by the Russian Federation, which killed three people in Ukraine last month. Turk made this statement before the UN Human Rights Council. The attack represents a significant escalation in the use of autonomous military technology in armed conflicts. The international community has been debating the risks associated with the development and use of weapons that can operate without direct human intervention.
