With respect to the item on "Consideration of the legal aspects related to the application of the princi~le t~at the explo~ation and utilizati6rt of ouier space should be carried out fdr the b~nefit .and in the interest~ of ail States, taking into particular account the needs of developing countriesll, the Government of the Republic of Cuba takes the view that consideration of the topic should have a legal character and accordingly should be geared to working out a legal framework which guarantees the following: (a) Access by all countriei, especially the developing countries, to the benefits resulting from the exploration and utilization of outer space; (b) Protection ·of the right of countries which have little or no space capability to participate fully in the exploration and utilization of outer space where. the necessary material conditions for this exist. The development and ·subsequent systematization of the principle of international co-operation in the area under consideration, which is enunciated in article 1 of the 1967 Outer Space Treaty, would contribute greatly to the achievement of this objective. As regards the item under consideration, this would require broadening the discus.sion to include resolutions, declarations and other documents enbodying the elements which make up the principle of international co-operation among States; In that connection, the Government of the Republic of Cuba considers that the following documents should be considered: (1) The Declaration on the Establishment of a New International Economic Order (resolution 3201 (S-VI), adopted by the General Assembly on 1 May 1974); (2) The Programme of Action on the Establishment of a New International Economic Order (resolution 3202 (S-VI}, adopted by the General Assembly on 1 May 1974); A/AC.105/C.2/15/Add.10 English Page 3
