Voronina, A. S. International Legal Cooperation of Countries to Prevent Armaments Race in Outer Space

Abstract: The author of the article analyzes mechanisms of international legal cooperation of countries in the sphere of prevention of armaments race in outer space. The author describes the status of outer space as partly demilitarized. Special attention is paid at international legal cooperation within the framework of the United Nations Conference on Disarmament Issues. The author proves that the choice of the United Nations Conference on Disarmament Issues to establish international cooperation to prevent armament race in outer space is preferable. The author analyzes suggestions of different countries on what legal and institutional mechanisms have been established to avoid armaments race in outer space since 1985. The author also describes the role of the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs as the main international authority for supervisory and lawmaking activities in the sphere of researches and use of outer space including demilitarization of outer space. The author concludes that it is necessary to improve cooperation between the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs and Conference on Disarmament Issues to maintain better coordination of activities and decisions made by these two authorities while retaining independence of each authority.
