3Ask as you normally wouldWhen it applies, the guidance comes with the answer
A not-for-profit organisation working to prevent the unintended, unnecessary or unacceptable harm caused by certain weapons, best known for advancing the principle of meaningful human control over the use of force and over autonomous weapons systems.
Prepared by Humanity Incorporated from Article 36's openly published positions and explanatory material. The wording is ours and responsibility for it rests with us. It is not supplied or operated by Article 36 and carries no endorsement from them. It does not give legal advice, certify whether a weapon is lawful, or state Article 36's official view on a specific system or case. Those judgements rest with Article 36's staff and with qualified legal review. Read the originals at article36.org, and tell us if you would rather this did not exist.
What this adds
Once Relay is in your assistant, it can consult this guidance when you ask about something
it covers, and the answer comes back with the source, where the guidance stops, and who to
speak to. It does not replace judgement, procedures or responsible people.
