The United Nations Committee for the Peaceful Use of Outer Space (COPOUOS) is holding 2 important sessions in springtime: the Legal SubCommittee on 15-25 April, and the General Assembly 67th on 18-28 June.
Such discussions, preceding the U.N. General Assembly 79th, which will take place in September, focus on space resources. In the context of the incoming cislunar economy, the legal, scientific, and technical aspects of lunar and asteroid resources mining, extraction, property, industrial, and intellectual properties, are of primary importance.
The current geopolitical conjuncture is characterized by two devastating wars at the doors of Europe, and the dawn of astropolitics, with several competing Moon initiatives.
The broad support for the two main lunar initiatives – the ARTEMIS Accords and the ILRS – testify to the great interest of all the Earth’s Countries to be part of space development.
SRI and NSS, representing nearly 100 coalized co-promoters, will be participating to the COPUOS sessions in Vienna, supporting a proposed 18th SDG, focused on civilian-led space development, to be added to the U.N. 2030 Agenda.
With the purpose of supporting our delegation at COPUOS, we have organized a virtual round table, on the 12 of June 2024, that will be live-streamed on the Space Renaissance YouTube channel. Everybody is invited to attend and to interact with the panelists via the YouTube chat.
The event includes a broad set of topics, for 5 round-table panels:
