The group deals chiefly in ammunition, small arms and heavy weapons (anti aircraft and anti tank weapons).

We must not wait until outer space weapons are developed and begin to cause damage. It would be too late if one country takes the lead in introducing weapons into outer space, with other States following suit.

The international community has made effective efforts to prevent the weaponization of and an arms race in outer space.

Sixthly, preventing the weaponization of, and an arms race in, outer space, would be conducive to promoting the process of nuclear disarmament.

2. The Trinidad and Tobago Defence Force is not in possession of any weapons of aerial delivery or nuclear, chemical or biological weaponry, nor does it intend to acquire weapons of mass destruction in the future.

(a) Air defence weapons fired from the shoulder, since the proliferation of such weapons among terrorist groups endangers the freedom and safety of civil aviation

For years, the international community has made tireless efforts to prevent the weaponization of, and an arms race in, outer space.

We firmly believe that only a legal instrument prohibiting the deployment of weapons in outer space and the prevention of the threat or use of force against outer space objects can eliminate the emerging threat of the weaponization of outer space.

The document is entitled Definition issues regarding legal instruments on the prevention of the weaponization of outer space .

Legally binding Instrument to Prevent the Weaponization of Outer Space

Secondly, preventing the weaponization of space and an arms race has become ever more urgent.

Session Two The Relevance and Urgency of Preventing the Weaponization of and an Arms Race in Outer Space

There were no instances of anti aircraft fire across the Line during this period.

Our common central task in this context is to prevent the deployment of weapons in outer space.

And the Air Armament Center at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida is responsible for the deployment and testing of all air delivered weaponry coming from the United States.

Prevention must be at the forefront of efforts to combat the proliferation of small arms and light weapons.

Thus, the THAAD deploys a hit to kill interceptor. An infrared seeker on the hit to kill vehicle provides final guidance to the target.

At the same time, we believe that the best way to prevent the weaponization of, and an arms race in, outer space is to negotiate and conclude the relevant legal instruments.

Over the years, the international community has endeavoured on many fronts to prevent the weaponization of, and an arms race in, outer space.

The need to work more on a treaty that prevents the weaponization of outer space, and that contains methods of verification.

There have recently been worrying developments relating to outer space, making efforts to halt the weaponization of outer space the more pressing.

There are no weapons in space at present.

We share the view that existing international legal instruments are inadequate to prevent the weaponization of outer space, as they do not prevent the testing, deployment and use of weapons other than those of mass destruction in outer space, do not deal with the threat or use of force from the earth against outer space objects, and lack universality.

These two resolutions, Prevention ofarms race in outer space and not to place weapons first in outer space ,

It is, therefore, important for the Conference to begin consideration of an international agreement that would prevent weaponization of outer space.

There were however practical links in that both a verification regime for the ban on biological weapons and a regime preventing the weaponization of outer space would give the nuclear weapon States greater confidence in moving towards the elimination of nuclear arsenals.

Views also differ on whether weapons used for the defensive or peaceful use of space would be classified in the same way as offensive space or anti space capabilities.

Space weapons, can in fact, support the use of weapons on earth.

The shipments ranged in size from an individual weapon, such as a large and expensive anti aircraft gun, to ocean freight containers full of arms, ranging from explosives and ammunition to small arms, mines and anti tank weapons.

The fourth challenge is the intentional use of man portable air defence systems (MANPADS) and other types of weapons capable of causing large scale casualties to civilians, and the accumulation of small arms and light weapons, ammunition, explosives and short range rockets.

Man portable air defence systems are particularly suited to terrorism they are small, light, missile launching weapons, designed to be used against an aircraft.

Conscious that further measures should be examined in the search for agreements to prevent an arms race in outer space, including the weaponization of outer space,

The Parties call for the peaceful use of outer space and preventing the stationing of weapons and an arms race in outer space and, to that end, advocate the development of a corresponding international legal agreement.

Within this framework, governments must set up national programmes for verification and prevention of weaponization of space.

It is necessary to note in this connection that the major objective of our work is to prevent and stop the weaponization of outer space.

What measures does Palau have to prevent terrorists from obtaining weapons within or outside its territory, in particular small arms or light weapons?

Conscious that further measures should be examined in the search for agreements to prevent an arms race in outer space, including the weaponization of outer space,

Conscious that further measures should be examined in the search for agreements to prevent an arms race in outer space, including the weaponization of outer space,

The real driving force behind the push for space weaponization lies in the intention to ensure US space superiority through offensive ASAT capabilities and space based missile defence interceptors.

With regard to confiscated and or impounded weapons, the Ministry of Defence does not issue a new marking for such types of weapons, but merely registers them with their original marking otherwise, the characteristics of the weapon are described in the federal registry of firearms covering only those weapons made available to the Ministry by the competent judicial authority.

We must prevent the proliferation of nuclear weapons.
