On 15 January 2013, the FRS organised an international seminar at the Diplomatic Academy in Vienna to mark the 10th anniversary of the Code. The meeting, which gathered 100 participants, raised HCoC’s international profile, highlighted the successes of the Code to date, and promoted debate on how the Code can tackle the challenges facing it in the future. Among the topics addressed were:

  • The historical genesis of the Code and the motives behind its creation.
  • The importance and role of HCoC and the Code’s successes.
  • Future trends in ballistic-missile proliferation and space-launch technologies and the resulting challenges facing the Code.
  • Proposals for enhancing HCoC
