Abstract
UNOOSA was established in 1992 to promote peaceful uses of outer space and space science and technology, with a view to fostering sustainable economic and social development. UNOOSA acts as the Secretariat of the ad hoc UN Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space. UNOOSA serves as the executive secretariat of the International Committee on GNSS (ICG), through which GNSS providers coordinate to advance GNSS technology, compatibility and interoperability, and the use of GNSS to promote sustainable development. Through the Committee, Policy and Legal Affairs UNOOSA supports UN member states with drafting and adopting legal instruments and regulatory frameworks to govern their activities relating to the peaceful exploration and use of space, in conformity with international space law. A Space Law for New Space Actors project was initiated in November 2019 to provide bespoke capacity-building support to member states on formulating national space legislation.
