Abstract
Latin American countries were involved in the multilateral discussions of the Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (COPUOS) since its very inception. Their participation in the negotiations of the five United Nations treaties contributed to drafting the final texts that currently regulate space activities since their entry into force. The travaux préparatoires of these international instruments are a valuable source to elucidate and document the role that the countries of the region played in the formation of international space law. The evolution of COPUOS membership reflects the considerable increase of Latin American and Caribbean countries that are engaging in space activities and are willing to continue contributing to the global governance of space in a constructive spirit.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
