​plan of action

Do not allow the U.S. military to use fully autonomous weapons under any circumstance.

Lead the way in negotiating treaties to limit how and where autonomous weapons systems are used. This should include limits on the types of targets, such as outlawing their use in situations where civilians or civilian objects are present; requirements for human-machine interaction, notably to ensure effective human supervision, and timely intervention and deactivation; and comprehensive requirements that companies that sell equipment used to make biological agents adopt rules to verify who their customers are and the nature of their work.

Nurture strong global alliances that can help us prevent the threat of nuclear, biological, and chemical weapon attacks by rogue nations, proliferation, and terrorist organizations. Lead international efforts to mitigate the danger of nuclear use and proliferation.

Call for the Biological Weapons Convention – a 50-year-old treaty with about 190 states participating – to be amended to address the technological advancements underway.

Extend the New START Treaty that expired in February 2026. At a minimum, commit to a one-year mutual adherence to New START limits with Russia, even in the absence of a treaty.

Re-engage in – and ratify – the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty (ATT).

Ratify the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT).

Encourage China, Egypt, India, Iran, Israel, North Korea, and Pakistan to sign and/or ratify the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty.

Stop global production of fissile material (i.e., plutonium and highly enriched uranium). Champion the Fissile Material Cut-off Treaty.

Fully support the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Low Enriched Uranium (LEU) Bank.
