Moon Agreement

The Moon Agreement is an international treaty adopted in 1984 that aims to govern the use and exploration of the Moon and other celestial bodies. It states that the Moon should be used for peaceful purposes, and that its resources are the common heritage of all humanity. The treaty emphasizes that activities must benefit all countries and that any exploitation of lunar resources should be subject to international oversight. However, it has limited global participation, with only a few countries ratifying it, and many major spacefaring nations have not adopted it.
