The split is structural. A majority bloc — led by Austria and most of the Non-Aligned Movement — pushes for a binding treaty with a ban on fully autonomous systems.

The major military powers resist. The United States, Russia, and India oppose a binding instrument, favouring non-binding principles and arguing existing international humanitarian law already applies.

The practical effect: CCW talks in Geneva stay deadlocked on consensus rules, so the action has shifted to the UN General Assembly, where a binding-track resolution passed over the objections of the holdout states.

I've tested out the site with a few historical UN questions, and am in awe of how it uses AI to speed research tasks.

Questions

What you’re wondering.

No. Model Diplomat is retrieval-first: it searches an index of treaties, UN votes, official statements, case law, datasets, and peer-reviewed work before it writes a word. It cannot cite a document that is not in its index — so every footnote points to something real you can open and verify.
It complements them. Subscription databases are excellent for the document types they cover; Model Diplomat is built to synthesize across primary sources from many places in a single natural-language query — and tell you which document each claim came from. It speeds the rest of your research, not replaces your specialist subscriptions.
Yes. Country positions are built from the record — UN voting history, official statements, treaty obligations, and bloc alignments — across all 193 member states, so you can compare where consensus is possible and where divergence is fundamental.
Primary documents are first-class: treaties and ratification records, UN voting records, declassified cables, court reporters and case law, official statistical datasets, and peer-reviewed scholarship. Each source carries its type, date, and a confidence score.
New accounts start with 50 AI credits. Everyday research pages stay free, and unlimited AI research is available with Pro at $10/month, cancel anytime. Team and institution bundles are available.
