SPECPOL:
Beyond Earth: Space Defense and Resource Law
About the committee
This Special Political and Decolonization Committee (SPECPOL), operating through the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA), will examine the growing challenges of security, governance, and cooperation in outer space. As technological advancements increase global reliance on satellites and space-based infrastructure, delegates will address the militarization of Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) through discussions on anti-satellite weapons, military space assets, surveillance systems, and confidence-building measures between states.
This committee will also explore the balance between national security interests and international collaboration, focusing on transparency in space operations, the regulation of dual-use technologies, the prevention of conflict escalation in orbit, and the legal framework surrounding space resource rights. Through diplomacy and multilateral negotiation, delegates will work to develop solutions that preserve outer space as a peaceful, and sustainable domain for all nations across the world.
