Read our European Space Preservation Initiative Summary. Acknowledge the diverse implications of the Space Preservation Treaty and realize the extense possibilities of EU-European Union's States guiding the world with its example, signing and presenting ratification instruments to the Depositary of the UN-United Nations, the Secretary-General of the UN; the legislation that will ban ALL space-based weapons, transform the weapons and warfare economy and industry into a New World Space Age Economy & Industry, based under international law, for the bennefit of all. Found an International Peace-Keeping Agency, a New World Security System and a long list of new products and services; appling existing solutions, with existing technologies, to the divers crisis we are involved in.

Introduction of the Space Preservation Treaty into the discussion Panel of Experts and Legislators on Space Security, create debate on the various and profound implications of the Treaty, desglose the comparison of other ideas and pieces of legislations homólogous in the concerne of the regulations of the civil & militar activities in space, as projects for international law, under the United Nations; and invite European Leaders in working cooperatively to ban space-based weapons and transform the war economy and industry by signing and presenting ratification instruments to the UN Depositary, the Secretary-General of the United Nations. ¿What is the eParliament?

Importance of space preservation and Implications of the SPT-Space Preservation Treaty

(Extract)

All societies, long through-out the planet, reflect a great preoccupation about Peace. There is a real intention in achieving it though, we have to remember we are immersed in the war business. The whole global economy is based on the centralization of energy and the war and weapons industry. We must just analyze accurately the facts that repeat constantly in terms of the war economy equation. The equation, in fact, is very simple: First, you must choose a target, an enemy; we have seen this situation going on since the communist/soviet threat, going through the japanness, until the decentrilized international terrorism. Next, is to deploy the old weapons. Then you test the new ones and finally, you prepare the budgets for the next ones. Well, that's why it is virtually irrelevant that people around the world claim anything to stop this; there are contracts and budgets to run through.

The problem is reaching a real peace scenario, based on international cooperation. To achive this, we need real actions, international laws that will permit us to induce the necessary changes for, utilizing the same infrastructures, transform and redirect goals and activities of the weapons industry.

Do to the reality that 3/4rds of the space industry (civil and military) has been launched and manufactured at and from military platforms, that on the other hand must continue beeing in this way, because we are not talking about deleting those infrastructures and jobs but, about redirecting those funds and resources used for R&D and testing of all those projects on space-based weapons which we don't want over our heads, into projects, products and services focused in the existing diverse solutions for the humanitarian and ecological crisis.

We must have in mind that thee funds and resources aplied to the weapons industry, in not just comming from the military sector, but universities, labs and other government departments and private sector. Was is known as the "military-industrial complex", the so preoccupaidly claimed named by Eisenhower, at the end of his mandate, in 1961.

It is important in not entering the discussion on which kind of weapons we are talking about. The SPT-Space Preservation Treaty especifies already, the permanent ban of all space-based weapons or any other weapons system based on space-based technology. This also means, there will be a prohibition on any kind of system capable of targeting and/or destroing any kind of object, in space, in the atmosfere or on Earth.

These named systems and military satelites, operatively in orbit, today, can be used to monitor Earth and outer space. Not only to verify and guarantee the permanent ban of all space-based weapons but to analyze the planet, the profitable resources and services in space and on Earth, for the benefit of all and in a peaceful and cooperative manner with the intention in offering existing solutions to the basic and necessary problems for a sustainable development; as for example, agriculture applications, population movements, climate reconnaissance, humanitarian rescue operations and other services that we could have achieved more extensively and positively, decades ago. We can create new systems and services, creating literally thousands of new jobs, for a world cooperative new space age economy and industry.

Under the premise of defense, the efforts and projects to make prevail the war economy/industry equation irrevocably permanent are ongoing. There is a continuing effort to stablish the subventions, the funding and the technologies to develop, test, constuct and deploy space-based weapons before we now what they are and why do we need them. Note we are not talking about hugh space systems, remember you can target any spot on the planet from three different places in orbit, using only three satellites. These space-based weapons systems are too costly, destabilizing, unnecessary and they won't protect us from anything. We do not need them. All these efforts to deploy space-based weapons are clear attitude to "control" and "dominate" space. This attitute is far more preoccupant than the weapons itself.

ICIS - Background: The Institute for Cooperation in Space (ICIS) is a 501-C-3 tax-exempt, non-profit foundation whose mission is to educate about efforts to transform the space-based weapons R&D program and war industry into a world cooperative civil, commercial and military space R&D and exploration program and industry (and other industries) without the mandate to weaponize space. ICIS educates about the U.S. Space Preservation Act and the companion World Space Preservation Treaty. These documents can and will put a literal lid on the war industry while simultaneously allowing the civil, commercial, entrepreneurial and military space R&D and exploration programs to continue once the verifiable ban on space-based weapons has been passed into world and national U.S. law.
