Abstract

[Some countries have developed antisatellite technology and deliberately destroy satellites. However, intentional destruction of satellites contributes to space debris, which is hazardous or deleterious, and disturbs the international community in the peaceful exploration and use of outer space. Therefore, the Security Council should exercise its discretionary powers conferred to it by the UN Charter to determine that intentional destruction of satellites is a threat to peace or breach of peace.]
