Abstract
The objective of the United Nations in establishing the Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space is to safeguard the right of peoples of all nations to beneficial results from space exploration. Attainment of this objective requires international cooperation which can be furthered by UN assistance for research, exchange and dissemination of information, encouragement of national research programs, and the study of legal problems arising from space exploration. Solutions proposed for legal problems can be evaluated in terms of whether or not they are likely to contribute to the betterment of mankind.
