Outer Space Co-Operation in the United Nations

In: American journal of international law: AJIL, Volume 57, Issue 4, p. 854-867

Abstract

There is widespread interest in the United Nations in fostering international co-operation in outer space for two basic reasons: first, to maximize co-operation between the two major space Powers despite their political differences; and second, to encourage the increased peaceful uses of outer space to benefit all countries irrespective of the stage of their economic or scientific development.
