considerations assisted in moving the proposed treaty from a talk stage into reality. Success also had been dependent on encouraging the Soviet Union to forego the essentially negative position that it had taken at least down to 1965. 7.3.2 Difficulties in the Negotiations of Agreements: Other Illustrations The Convention on International Liability for Damage Caused by Space Objects, which entered into force in 1972, had its genesis in a proposal submitted by the United States to COPUOS on June 8, 1962. In the intervening years COPUOS had incorporated into the 1967 Principles Treaty an article on liability for damage. The International Agreement on Assistance to and Return of Astronauts and Objects Launched into Outer Space resulted from a draft proposal submitted by the United States to COPUOS on October 24, 1964. Following negotiations it entered into force in 1968. General provisions on this subject were contained in the 1967 Principles Treaty. The Convention on Registration of Objects Launched into Outer Space had its genesis at least as early as 1961. By a General Assembly Resolution States were requested to submit to COPUOS, through the UN Secretary-General, information related to launchings. Following negotiations the treaty entered into force in September 1976. General provisions on this subject were also contained in the 1967 Principles Treaty. The foregoing international agreements are those that have been negotiated at the United Nations and are presently in force. There have been serious and extended efforts to obtain international consent on other important subjects.
