REPORTS
In addition, the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs
(UNOOSA) is responsible for promoting international cooperation in the
peaceful uses of outer space. It serves as the secretariat for the General
Assembly's only committee dealing exclusively with international
cooperation in the peaceful uses of outer space - the United Nations Committee
on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (COPUOS). .It produced a publication
on world wide activities during UN World Space Week (4-10 October 2007)
which includes all the GN Keep Space for Peace events we could put together.
It can be obtained from http://www.unoosa.org/pdf/wsw/wsw2007E.pdf
(but it is almost 5 MB so be warned!). Thanks to Carol Urner of WILPF for
coordinating the inclusion of our events in this publication.
