#Samoa raised environmental concerns of AWS, where negotiating an #LBI needs to "take into consideration the context of small island developing states and in particular the environment which our cultural heritage and identity is intrinsically linked to our land and ocean.” 🇼🇸🌊🐠 #StopKillerRobots

#Samoa echoed #Fiji and #Kiribati submissions to the #UNSG report on #AWS, highlighting the legacy of weapons testing and contamination across the Pacific region, and concerns of AWS development and use in this context. 🇼🇸🇫🇯🇰🇮 #StopKillerRobots

#Samoa’s participation and leadership as an observer country to the #CCW shows that concerns of autonomous weapons systems are shared from all regions across the globe, by large and small states alike. It is an issue that demands global attention and action. 🇼🇸 #StopKillerRobots
