a call to do something = a request for action; to proclaim xyz should be done
- it is often used in reference to political groups stating their position / opinion about some action that should be taken
There have been calls to end the lockdown and vaccine mandates.
backed = supported
So basically 26 nations have supported the idea of banning killer robots.
To me, "so far" is unnecessary because it is covered already in "as of April 2018".
