(ii) Mobilization of financial resources to develop capacity in space science and technology applications

Meanwhile, cooperation in the realm of cyberspace is just getting started with difficulty.

New and emerging technologies, applications and initiatives for space related inter agency cooperation

E. Other new and emerging applications and initiatives for space related inter agency cooperation

Both are aimed at a single goal that of promoting the security of outer space, strengthening mutual trust and cooperation among States in outer space, and working to prevent an arms race in outer space.

The CD has unique expertise on the prevention of weaponization and an arms race in outer space.

Kazakhstan was also working with the Russian Federation on space and aviation technology and remote sensing.

Thirteenth Manfred Lachs Space Law Moot Court Competition, 2004

The Subcommittee noted with appreciation that the Directory of Education Opportunities in Space Law had been updated and would be made available on the website of the Office for Outer Space Affairs.

Since 2002, her Government had promoted regional cooperation in the application of space science and technology and the implementation of the Cartagena Declaration and Plan of Action, in particular with regard to education and training in the use of space technology.

History In 1973 eleven countries, called together by the European Space Agency (ESA), decided to take Europe down its own path in the space field.

Russia has taken the initiative to introduce some confidence building measures in outer space, and counts on other States which have outer space programmes following suit.

Similar political declarations by space Powers, of course, will not and cannot replace a legally binding instrument on preventing the deployment of weapons in outer space.

(a) Strengthening the capacity building activities of the Office in space law by, inter alia, continuing to organize the series of workshops on space law and developing a model education curriculum for a short term course on space law

The Committee noted with satisfaction that the Programme on Space Applications was supporting UNESCO in its space education outreach activities.

Steps are being taken to modernize existing launch vehicles and to develop more advanced ones in order to guarantee reliable access to space exploration.

It should help other leading space Powers to take decisions on making declarations similar to ours.

Together it is quite within our power to block the placement of weapons in outer space and to direct progress in science and technology along a constructive track.

The thirteenth Manfred Lachs Space Law Moot Court Competition was also held during the IISL Colloquium The case, concerning the commercialization of a space station, was written by A. Farand, R. Lee and F. von der Dunk.

Mr. Abiodun (Chairman of the Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space) recalled that little attention had been devoted to the possible applications of space technology to sustainable development, other than at UNISPACE III.

And when that cellular space station is within the electric field, it acts on those highly charged proteins and aligns them.

(iii) Information on the activities of international intergovernmental and non governmental organizations relating to space law

To be sure, South Africa s push to join the world s technological leaders is not limited to space research.

Three Latvian universities, the University of Latvia, the Riga Technical University and Ventspils University College, carry out some research in the field.

Telecommunications is the largest part of the space sector in Norway, generating two thirds of the sector's annual turnover.

In so doing we expressed our readiness to undertake that commitment immediately if other space Powers would associate themselves with such a moratorium.

The Office is planning activities in the field of space based tele health and aims to launch a pilot project in that area.

The existing legal regime for the peaceful uses of outer space is very valuable and should not be upset. Instead, the parallel processes to prevent the weaponization of space and to promote its peaceful uses should draw mutual benefits from each other.

We firmly believe that only a legal instrument prohibiting the deployment of weapons in outer space and the prevention of the threat or use of force against outer space objects can eliminate the emerging threat of the weaponization of outer space.

In cooperation with the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, ESCAP organized a side event on disaster prevention and regional cooperative mechanisms in space technology applications for disaster management during the World Conference on Disaster Reduction.

The rest of the world should regard China s aerospace capabilities as an important part of its future power projection.

The Spaceguard Foundation is a non governmental, international organization with a membership of space professionals. It has three principal goals

Finland's main interests in space are described in detail in document A AC.105 788 of 2 December 2002.

(c) Consideration of matters to be included in a report on new and emerging initiatives and applications for space related inter agency cooperation

The Action Team concluded that currently there were some initiatives in the area of disaster response that took advantage of space technologies, but few initiatives in the area of disaster prevention and mitigation.

2.
