Inter‐state relations in the context of outer space are part of a broader framework of international relations and, in many cases, can affect States' policies on Earth. The first paragraph of Article IV of the OST prohibits the placement in orbit around the earth of nuclear weapons or weapons of mass destruction and the installation of such weapons in the celestial bodies. Despite Article IV of the OST, the issue of weaponization of outer space is of particular concern to the international community, in the context of which initiatives have been repeatedly taken to prevent an arms race in outer space. In 1990, the United Nations General Assembly requested the Secretary General to carry out a study on potential confidence‐building measures in outer space. The installation of military bases, the testing of all types of weapons and the conduct of military exercises are prohibited.
