Abstract

The advancement of space technology in recent times and the diplomatic efforts by the countries involved in space exploration indicate that conflicts in space are still possible. It is important to note that conflicts on Earth can have adverse effects in space, thereby jeopardizing security for all countries. Securing safe and sustainable access to space and preventing space hazards are crucial components of space security and safety. Maintaining the principle of peaceful use of space has become increasingly challenging today. Hence, greater attention is being devoted to the issue of space security and the corresponding international regulations. This article presents some global-level programs and initiatives, such as disarmament programs, PAROS and UN Long Term Sustainability.
