United Nations Committee on Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (UNCOPUOS) can formulate and draft various treaties, conventions, and agreements that essentially became the corpus of International Law on outer space.
International space law applicable to the country involves National and International rules, guidelines, procedures, regulations, and treaties for governing all space-related activities.
