I was looking up new documents being posted ahead of the RIO+ Sustainable Conference. The following is a footnote in outer space treaties that will will ratified at RIO+:
The five outer space treaties are the Treaty on Principles Governing the Activities of States in the Exploration and Use of Outer Space, including the Moon and Other Celestial Bodies (General Assembly resolution 2222 (XXI), annex);
the Agreement on the Rescue of Astronauts, the Return of Astronauts and the Return of Objects Launched into Outer Space (Assembly resolution 2345 (XXII), annex);
the Convention on International Liability for Damage Caused by Space Objects (Assembly resolution 2777 (XXVI), annex);
the Convention on Registration of Objects Launched into Outer Space (Assembly resolution 3235 (XXIX), annex);
and the Agreement Governing the Activities of States on the Moon and Other Celestial Bodies (Assembly resolution 34/68, annex);
the five declarations and sets of legal principles are the Declaration of Legal Principles Governing the Activities of States in the Exploration and Use of Outer Space (Assembly resolution 1962 (XVIII));
the Principles Governing the Use by States of Artificial Earth Satellites for International Direct Television Broadcasting (Assembly
resolution 37/92, annex);
the Principles Relating to Remote Sensing of the Earth from Outer
Space (Assembly resolution 41/65, annex);
the Principles Relevant to the Use of Nuclear Power Sources in Outer Space (Assembly resolution 47/6
and the Declaration on International Cooperation in the Exploration and Use of Outer Space for the Benefit and in the Interest of
All States, Taking into Particular Account the Needs of Developing Countries (Assembly resolution 51/122, annex).
I get a kick out of the last one. Exploring Outer Space for Poor People. Yea right That is just what poor and developing people need.
