The Vatican backs an international ban on weapons that independently decide to use lethal force.
Addressing participants in a Vatican meeting with the scientific community, he urged states meeting in Geneva in November to take concrete steps toward a ban. He also called for independent oversight and developer accountability, arguing that decisions about human life and the use of force must remain under human control.
