eaty on Principles Governing the Activities of States in the Exploration and Use of Outer Space， including the Moon and Other Celestial Bodies， a State carrying out a programme of remote sensing shall inform the Secretary-General of the United Nations” .

　　9 “Nonetheless， issues may be raised， for instance， as to whether droughts are to be included in natural disasters o whether a particular remote sensing activity promotes the protection of the Earth‘s natural environment in a given case or whether the data or information relative to natural disasters has in fact been transmitted ’as promptly as possible.‘” Id. p.310. And the response of related parties during the tsunami happening on Dec. 26th， 2004， might reveal such raising problems. ——Author

　　10 Principle X， “Remote sensing shall promote the protection of the Earth‘s natural environment. To this end， States participating in remote sensing activities that have identified information in their possession that is capable of averting any phenomenon harmful to the Earth’s natural environment shall disclose such information to States concerned”； Principle XI， “Remote sensing shall promote the protection of mankind from natural disasters. To this end， States participating in remote sensing activities that have identified processed data and analysed information in their possession that may be useful to States affected by natural disasters， or likely to be affected by impending natural disasters， shall transmit such data and information to States concerned as promptly as possible”。

　　22 Principle VII， “States participating in remote sensing activities shall make available technical assistance to other interested States on mutually agreed terms.”

　　23 Principle XII， “As soon as the primary data and the processed data concerning the territory under its jurisdiction are produced， the sensed State shall have access to them on a non-discriminatory basis and on reasonable cost terms. The sensed State shall also have access to the available analysed information concerning the territory under its jurisdiction in the possession of any State participating in remote sensing activities on the same basis and terms， taking particularly into account the needs and interests of the developing countries.”
