Space enables most aspects of our lives, but threats by States to space systems could disrupt, damage, destroy or disable services dependant on them. Agreement on effective approaches has been hard to reach. In the meantime, the risks of miscalculation are intensifying.

The UN General Assembly established an open-ended working group (OEWG) to consider threats by States to space systems and make recommendations on possible norms, rules and principles of responsible behaviours. This event will inform the third meeting of the OEWG.
