Committee Description

This committee challenges delegates to find solutions for ensuring a peaceful and secure international space frontier. With the increasing militarization of outer space, such as military satellites capable of targeting Earth, the need for effective space governance has become more urgent. Founded in 1959, COPUOS operates under the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) and aims to promote cooperation in space exploration. In a world of rising geopolitical tensions, this committee will focus on ensuring that all countries have a voice in the demilitarization of space and the creation of equitable, transparent governance frameworks. Delegates will work together to develop solutions that prioritize peace, security, and inclusivity in the exploration and use of outer space.
