Outer Space Treaty
Nov. 7th, 2004 09:47 pmAnd so, I found something else to cry over:
[...]
Taking into consideration its resolutions 1721 (XVI) of 20 December 1961 and 1802 (XVII) of 14 December 1962, adopted unanimously by the States Members of the United Nations,
Solemnly declares that in the exploration and use of outer space States should be guided by the following principles:
The exploration and use of outer space shall be carried on for the benefit and in the interests of all mankind.
[...]
States shall regard astronauts as envoys of mankind in outer space, and shall render to them all possible assistance in the event of accident, distress, or emergency landing on the territory of a foreign State or on the high seas.
Damn you, life, for reminding me that I can be a romantic and an idealist, and thank you. Make of that what you will. (Either that, or reading nine hours of international law has finally broken something upstairs.)
