The Outer Space Treaty is an international agreement, currently ratified by 99 countries, with another 26 awaiting ratification, which specifies certain terms and conditions dealing with the exploration of space and how it is used.
Two of the terms state the following:
- States shall be liable for damage caused by their space objects; and
- States shall avoid harmful contamination of space and celestial bodies
In essence, it does not address the problem of space junk, but it does force countries to consider that they could be liable for massive damage bills if their space junk causes problems for exploration parties, or if it affects Earth in any way.

What is the Outer Space Treaty of 1967?
The Outer Space Treaty is a formal international agreement designed to protect outer space as a resource, to allow peaceful exploration of space for the benefit of all countries and mankind, and to protect the people of earth from the consequences of mismanagement of outer space. As of January 2008, it had been signed and ratified by 99 countries, and another 26 were still awaiting formal ratification.Brought into effect in 1967, the full name of the treaty is Treaty on Principles Governing the Activities of States in the Exploration and Use of Outer Space, including the Moon and Other Celestial Bodies.Because outer space is an untapped resource, there were fears that some countries would seek to exploit these resources for their own benefit, and to the detriment of other countries. As a result, the treaty stipulates that none of the participating states may claim territory in space or on any of the celestial bodies, nor use space (and the celestial bodies) as a place to store or launch weapons of mass destruction. Any countries exploring space are also required to be liable for their space junk.For more information, see the website at the related link below.

What is the International definition of the beginning of space?
There is no beginning of space in terms of physics. For space treaties, and particularly the Outer Space Treaty of the United Nations (from 1967), the Kármán line at 100 km (62 miles) above Earth is used as the start of outer space. This line is conventionally accepted as the beginning of space.
Who was the last to claim land?

What can a space zone be?
A space zone can refer to a designated area in outer space, often defined for specific activities such as research, exploration, or resource utilization. It may encompass regions like orbital zones around Earth, areas for asteroid mining, or zones for international collaboration on space missions. Additionally, in a broader sense, it can represent regions governed by specific laws or agreements, such as the Outer Space Treaty, which regulates the use of outer space.
