 Jurisdiction of Space
Country Policy Iran has been a strong supporter in the belief of keeping Space peaceful. Yet they know that progression and exploration is always going to be here .Iran with many nations agrees that we need to preserve space for what it is and not harm it anymore other for space exploration for science. Iran has been part of COPOUS for a number of years we must go back to 1958 where they were one of the first eighteen members to join and as time progressed they have still contributed strongly to resolutions for COPOUS. We understand that we as humans are curious people that they want to learn of other places other than our own yet we wish not to harm something so that’s why Iran is a strong supporter of International Institute of Space Law (IISL) which sets out the basic outline of what should be permitted and not. As for the new Space Tourism and purchasing space Iran has with past references believed in only using space for science and at this moment wishes to leave it this way so we do not harm space as we do to our own planet.

UN Involvement The UN is a strong believer in preserving space for peaceful uses only. In 1958 they established the Committee of the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (COPUOS). Also they have written treaty called International Space Law which requires all UN members to settle disputes with peaceful means. They have stated that outer space, the moon, the galaxy, the moon, or anything that is from space can not belong to a country because space has no owner. Furthermore, UN is the one who approves anything being put into space by country and disallowing nuclear weapons of any sort to be used. Other treaties like the Outer Space Treaty which limits the amount of weapons in space.

Resolutions Iran is a strong follower of COPOUS and International law of space because of their strong believes in maintaining the peace in space. Yet Iran believes there should be a mutual agreement with all members of COPOUS of making space unattainable by cash and furthermore unusable for other then scientifically purposes. We also believe that new treaties can’t be made since we will be restating the same solutions so we believe in taking these past resolutions and putting many to affect.
