Part A. Agenda
I.
Introduction
1.
The United Nations has been at the centre of international cooperation in space
activities since the beginning of the space age. The Committee on the Peaceful Uses
of Outer Space came into being as a result of the recognition by the General Assembly,
in its resolution 1348 (XIII) of 13 December 1958, of the importance of using outer
space for peaceful purposes and of the need to promote international cooperation in
the conduct of space activities; in its resolution 1472 A (XIV) of 1959, the Assembly
permanently established the Committee.
2.
Owing to its unique mandate and position at the centre of international
cooperation in the peaceful uses of outer space, and the global governance of outer
space activities, 1 consistent with international law, the Committee played a key role
in the organization of the first three United Nations conferences on the exploration
and peaceful uses of outer space, held in 1968, 1982 and 1999.
