Cosmic matters have sparked a wave of discussion in recent years. This enigmatic realm, seemingly distant yet tantalizingly close, has captured the attention of various governments and researchers. A notable example is the "SpaceX" initiative led by renowned entrepreneur Elon Musk. In fact, as early as the twentieth century, the United States and Russia turned space into a battleground for their power, a competition famously known as the "Space Race."

However, as human space research deepens, the undefined boundaries of space have triggered various disputes between countries regarding its use. Questions arise, such as who should own the resources in space and which country is responsible for regulating its utilization. It is undeniable that space has broadened humanity's vision for the future and offered more possibilities for development. However, these possibilities come with risks, and the use of space remains fraught with unknowns.

The Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (COPUOS) aims to eliminate doubts and controversies about the use of space through international cooperation. By establishing the topic of “The International Norms and Regulations for the Amicable Use and Security of Outer Space”, the committee hopes that participants will focus on sub-topics such as equitable use of space, territorial development regulations, weaponization suppression, and environmental sustainability. The goal is to discuss and develop a well-formed plan. Through active participation in discussions, COPUOS seeks to serve the best interests of space utilization for all member states and effectively prevent relevant international disputes.
