THE CODE OF CONDUCT %%%TREEMENU%%%

Create Special Caution Areas Safe passage in space needs to be reinforced by measures to promote special caution or safety areas. Arrangements in pursuit of these objectives require notification and communication of activities that could pose a hazard to satellites. Article V [Special Caution Zones] Each Party may propose to the other Party or Parties that the Parties agree to designate an area around satellites as a special caution zone. Special caution zones shall be negotiated under the communication system established in Article IX. The satellites of each Party shall not maneuver within designated special caution zones for purposes prohibited under this Agreement. In the event that a Party plans to approach or enter a designated special caution zone for purposes not prohibited under this Agreement, the Party shall provide notification 100 hours prior to such an approach under the communication system established under Article IX. The designation of a special caution zone around a satellite shall be solely for the purpose of avoiding incidents and refraining from dangerous military practices in space and shall not be considered as a means of appropriating space for national purposes.
