Peaceful Space Exploration Agreements Act

Abstract:

This act promotes the creation of binding international agreements to ensure that outer space is used exclusively for peaceful, scientific, and cooperative purposes by all nations and entities.

Description:

  1. Multilateral Space Peace Treaty:
    Propose a new global treaty under the UN framework reaffirming space as a demilitarized domain, banning the placement or use of weapons in orbit, on celestial bodies, or in outer space operations.

  2. International Space Governance Body:
    Establish or strengthen an international oversight body involving UN members, private sector actors, Indigenous representatives, and scientists to coordinate and enforce peaceful space policies.

  3. Shared Scientific Infrastructure:
    Encourage international collaboration on space missions, research platforms, telescopes, and resource mapping, ensuring open access to scientific findings and data.

  4. Ban on Commercial Space Weaponization:
    Implement a global ban on the development and sale of weaponized space technologies by private companies, with transparency and verification mechanisms.

  5. Planetary Protection and Ethical Guidelines:
    Develop ethical standards and interplanetary environmental regulations for exploration of the Moon, Mars, asteroids, and beyond, including Indigenous-informed cosmologies and long-term stewardship values.

  6. Space Debris and Safety Agreements:
    Promote coordinated global protocols for satellite deorbiting, space traffic management, and debris reduction, preventing accidents and conflict in Earth’s orbit.

  7. Youth and Civil Society Participation:
    Create forums and educational programs that involve youth, educators, and civil society in shaping peaceful space policy and inspiring global solidarity beyond Earth.

  8. Public Accountability and Transparency:
    Require nations and space agencies to publicly disclose plans, launches, and potential military-linked activities in outer space.

Possible Outcomes and Implications:

  • Prevents the militarization of outer space and potential armed conflicts beyond Earth.
  • Strengthens peaceful cooperation among spacefaring and non-spacefaring nations.
  • Protects the celestial environment and ensures sustainable space exploration.
  • Inspires a global vision of unity, learning, and peace as humanity expands beyond Earth.
