Space SecurityOpen Canada

Until April the UN Security Council took up the issue of outer space security.
Outer space has become an increasingly important environment for global well-being.
Leading space powers are characterizing it as a “war-fighting domain” while accusing one another of having been the first to “weaponize” this vital if vulnerable environment.
Hostile rhetoric, accusations of nefarious intent, development of anti-satellite weapons and other so-called “counter-space capabilities” have generated an atmosphere that is not conducive for states agreeing on cooperative security measures even when these are urgently needed.
To deploy a nuclear weapon in orbit would be a blatant violation of the Outer Space Treaty .
Moscow has adamantly denied that it is planning to do this.
The US and Japan , along with numerous co-sponsors, introduced this April a draft resolution on Outer Space and WMD with a principal call for all states to adhere to the ban on placing WMD into space.
There was a time when Canada was a leader in researching possible verification solutions to arms control problems.
If this group effort can be undertaken for the verification of nuclear disarmament, surely it can be done for space arms control, especially in light of improved monitoring capabilities in both the private and public sectors.
