If the General Assembly cannot meet that deadline, our U.N. Petition asks for a Space Preservation Treaty-signing Conference to ban space-based weapons and all warfare in space, like the 1997 Ottawa Conference that resulted in the Land Mines Treaty, to be held at the World Peace Forum 2006 (June 2006, Vancouver, B.C.).

Here is what best-selling author Mel Hurtig says about the Space Preservation Treaty-signing Conference
"We Canadians should help organize a major international conference in Vancouver to strongly condemn the weaponizing of space. We should invite Russia, China, India, Brazil, the Scandinavian countries, and many others to join us in a massive worldwide campaign against U.S. plans?. I suggest Vancouver because a large number of excellent people, with the encouragement of the [Vancouver] City Council, are already planning a World Peace Forum for 2006, and a proposal for a widely endorsed Space Preservation Treaty. The conference would be organized much as the 1997 Land Mines Conference in Ottawa." p. 183
