But the Chinese have another argument up their sleeve, which seems more plausible (and more modern).

The pattern of the sleeve is one of the characteristics of fashion in dress, varying in every country and period.

Various survivals of the early forms of sleeve are still found in the different types of academic or other robes.

Yes, Dima replied, brushing off a piece of half eaten fish that had gotten stuck to his right sleeve. I'd like to buy that one there.

Essentially, it presents our tentative definitions of terms such as outer space, outer space object and weapons in outer space.

The lightest touch of her arm the touch of a hand, the touch even of a sleeve, of a garment, as she put it on caused excruciating, burning pain.

Peaceful uses of outer space

The view was expressed that outer space must be protected from the threat posed by weapons in outer space.

This multilateral legal regime for outer space, however, bans only the introduction of weapons of mass destruction in outer space.

Many questions have been raised, including a possible distinction between weaponization and militarization of outer space, and definitions of technical terms, such as  outer space , space weapon , space object and peaceful use of outer space .

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.

Otherwise, the right to the peaceful use of outer space and the safety of outer space assets will be put in jeopardy.

There have recently been worrying developments relating to outer space, making efforts to halt the weaponization of outer space the more pressing.

The fundamental legal instrument governing outer space activities, the OST, has loopholes with regards to the prevention of outer space weaponization, and no international consensus has been reached on how to address the serious challenges facing outer space.

47th Colloquium on the Law of Outer Space

48th Colloquium on the Law of Outer Space

Discussion on how to preserve security in outer space and prevent an arms race in outer space put forward three options to choose from

To face this problem, we need to patch up the international legal system on outer space, in particular we need to ensure that we develop a comprehensive regime preventing weaponization of outer space and an arms race in outer space.

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.

The Office for Outer Space Affairs briefed the Meeting on its website on the coordination of outer space activities within the United Nations system (www.uncosa.unvienna.org).

For example, in response to the increasing commercialization of outer space, the Office for Outer Space Affairs should continue its yearly workshops on space law.

7. Expresses concern about the real danger of the weaponization of outer space, and calls upon all States to contribute actively to the objective of the peaceful use of outer space and of the prevention of an arms race in outer space

They still do. Today s Russians hope that Putin, who blindsided his opponents with his annexation of Crimea, might have another daring trick up his sleeve one that will stabilize financial markets and revive the oil prices on which Russia s economy depends.

Seriously concerned about the possibility of an arms race in outer space, and bearing in mind the importance of article IV of the Outer Space Treaty,

Conscious that further measures should be examined in the search for agreements to prevent an arms race in outer space, including the weaponization of outer space,

These have been processed by wet or dry methods for removing the outer pulp and mucilage, and have an intact wax layer on the outer surface.
