Interviews with:

Steve Wright, Reader in the School of Social Science at Leeds Beckett University, and ICRAC Member

This is episode 4 of 6 in the CCW Special that kicks off the new official ICRAC Podcast series.

Rasha Abdul Rahim is part of the Arms Control, Security Trade and Human Rights Team at Amnesty International and an expert in the human rights implications of autonomous weapons in military and policing applications.

Dr. Steve Wright is a professor at Leeds Beckett University who has more than 30 years under his belt working on the proliferation of weapon technologies. Steve is also ICRAC’s specialist on Less Lethal Autonomous Weapons (LLAWS).

We talk about how LLAWS could come back from conflict zones to haunt civil society and we discuss the inherent dangers for policing, border control and the suppression of populations.
