India Calls for Legally Binding Treaty to Prevent Arms Race in Outer Space at UN
At the UN General Assembly, India, represented by MP Sudha Murty, called for outer space to remain a domain of cooperation rather than conflict. India emphasized the need for a legally binding international treaty to prevent an arms race in space, advocating for a universally acceptable, verifiable agreement negotiated multilaterally. While open to voluntary norms and transparency measures, India stressed these should complement, not replace, a binding pact. The statement highlighted India's growing space capabilities and concerns over dual-use technologies and space security.
