SGAC Involvement with the UN

 

SGAC works constantly to accomplish a key component of its mission as an organisation: to be the dialogue agent between UN Member States present at the UN Committee on the Peaceful  Uses of Outer Space and the next generation of international space sector leaders.

 

United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Use of Outer Space (COPUOS)

SGAC Executive Director Ariane Cornell speaking at COPUOS 2009SGAC has Permanent Observer status in UN COPUOS and is regularly present at its annual meeting (in June) and at its two subcommittees' meetings: Legal (in March) and Scientific and Technical (in February). As one of only twenty Permanent Observers in COPUOS, SGAC contributes to the activities and action teams of COPUOS.

SGAC at each meeting contributes to the discussion by making statements (see below) and presentations on the various work that SGAC's network produces throughout the year.  This includes the reporting of the recommendations gathered at the annual Space Generation Congress.
