A UN General Assembly committee has approved a draft resolution that urges UN member states to abide by international rules of outer space uses and contribute to the prevention of an arms race in outer space.

According to a press release by committee, General Assembly urged UN member states that have not yet become parties to international treaties governing the uses of outer space to ratify or accede to them and to incorporate them into their national laws.  

The committee will reconvene tomorrow to begin its general debate on the comprehensive review of UN peacekeeping.
