章节摘录

  Through resolutions and discussions within the United Nations, a general agreement has developed that an arms race in outer space should be prevented. However, due to the structure of the international legal regime and to the objection of a (very) few states, a treaty has not yet been negotiated to comprehensively prevent an arms race in outer space. The work of the UN, then, is to determine the steps toward negotiating a treaty. To imply that since an arms race does not yet exist, and therefore it is not necessary to take action, is unacceptable. On the contrary, because there is not yet an arms race, now is the time to prevent weaponization of space. If this does not happen now, very soon the talk will be on "nonproliferation" rather than "prevention".  Outer space is said to be used only for peaceful purposes. Although the term "peaceful purposes" was never clearly defined, it was accepted that this included military, commercial, scientific and development uses.  Since the early days of the space race the international community has referred to the use of "space for peaceful purposes", and to the need to maintain a "space sanctuary". But a distinction must be made between militarization and weaponization of space. Although space is heavily militarized, it is not yet weaponized. Space weaponization is generally understood to refer to the placement in orbit of space based devices that have a destructive capacity. Space has been militarized since the earliest communication satellites were launched. Today, militaries all over the world rely heavily on satellites for command and control, communication, monitoring, early warning and navigation with the Global Positioning System (GPS). Therefore, most states accept that "peaceful purposes" include military use, even that which is not particularly peaceful, and space is considered a sanctuary only in that no weapons are deployed there.
