Several opening statements at 2009 UN Conference on Disarmament session include space security language

The 2009 session of the United Nations Conference on Disarmament convened on January 20, with a new chairman from Vietnam, Ambassador Le Hoai Trung. Sixty-five Member States compose the CD. Several opening statements included language related to space security.

India:

"There is a growing concern that the current technological developments, in particular related to ASAT [anti-satellite], may impact negatively on the present international legal framework on outer space. We, therefore, support international efforts to reinforce safety and security of space based assets and to prevent the placement of weapons in outer space. There are a number of proposals on the table, including a draft treaty tabled by Russia and China, which deserve further consideration."

Bangladesh:

"Outer space is the common heritage of humankind. It must be explored for peaceful purposes only. Militarization of outer space could spiral into an arms race. This "multi-billion dollar race for destruction" has to be prevented. The onus lies on the countries that have the capability to reach outer space. They will have to ensure that outer space is used exclusively for peaceful purposes. When the CD resumes its substantive work, it must take up this issue for adopting an international instrument for averting the weqaponization of space."
