AGREEMENT GOVERNING THE ACTIVITIES OF STATES ON THE MOON AND OTHER CELESTIAL BODIESAgreement Governing the Activities of States on the Moon and Other Celestial Bodies • April 28th, 2021
In 1969, at the eighth session of the Legal Subcommittee of the Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (hereinafter the “Legal Subcommittee”), Argentina, France and Poland proposed that the Legal Subcommittee should examine the question of the “rules which should govern man’s activities on the moon and other celestial bodies”. The Legal Subcommittee agreed that this issue could be examined under an existing agenda item (Report of the Legal Subcommittee on the work of its eighth session, A/AC.105/58). In 1970, at the ninth session of the Legal Subcommittee, Argentina presented a draft agreement on the principles governing activities in the use of the natural resources of the moon and other celestial bodies. However, preoccupied with other matters, the Legal Subcommittee did not consider the issue at that session (Report of the Legal Subcommittee on the work of its ninth session, A/AC.105/85).
