A chorus of voices for SI rules is growing around the UN General Assembly, but the decisive players are in no hurry to sign on.
The principles are: humanity, safety, cooperation, trust, accountability, independence, restraint, solidarity, fairness and long-term thinking. In the preamble, The Elders reproach governments for inaction and compare the task to limiting nuclear weapons and banning chemical ones. "SI is not a force of nature and not destiny. It is built by companies and sold in markets. Like any other technology, it must be subject to the law."
