United Nations, New York, 9 April 2009 - Daily Briefing by the Office of the Spokesperson for the Secretary General. With reference to the question on DPRK's launch during our press briefing yesterday, the Office for Outer Space Affairs (OOSA) has informed us that, as of today, they have not received any information from DPRK under the Outer Space Treaty nor the Registration Convention with regard to the launch.
As I said yesterday, DPRK acceded on 10 March 2009 to the two international treaties governing the activities of States in outer space: the Outer Space Treaty and the Registration Convention. Following accession to the space treaties, the Permanent Missions of DPRK to the United Nations in New York and Vienna contacted the Office for Outer Space Affairs on queries related to obligations of States Parties under both the Outer Space Treaty and the Registration Convention.
DPRK also officially informed the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the International Maritime Organization (IMO) of its intent to launch an experimental communications satellite.
