Answer to Question 1
Answer: The international treaty governing the treatment of Antarctica is referred to as the Antarctic Treaty of 1959. The treaty sets aside the territorial claims already made on the continent up to that point. It also bars states from laying new claims to territory in Antarctica. There is no native population and the only dwellings are scientific stations staffed by researchers who are not permanent residents. Experts have suggested that the treaty might be abandoned if valuable resources were located under the melting ice.
Like the principles underlying the Antarctic Treaty, the 1967 Outer Space Treaty limits states' exclusive use of outer space and celestial objects, including the Moon. Besides barring claims of sovereignty, the treaty bans nuclear weapons in outer space, although conventional weapons are allowed. It shares with the Antarctic Treaty an emphasis on scientific exploration for the good of humanity. The extensive use of Earth's orbital zone for military and commercial use has led to problems of space debris that can damage other spacecraft. The treaty holds states responsible for damage done by their spacecraft.
