To See the World M. Stewart 1.º edición

This volume analyses the Principles Governing the Use by States of Artificial Earth Satellites for International Direct Television Broadcasting, adopted by a recorded vote of 107 for, 13 against, with 13 abstentions by the United Nations General Assembly on December 10, 1982, and proposes revisions which would lead to future consideration and adoption, by consensus of these Principles.

These include, inter alia, a legal definition of international direct television broadcasting by satellite (IDTBS) to match the inherently global potential of the technology, encompassing the international legal concepts of a new world education, information and communication order (NWEICO) and the common heritage, interest and benefit of all mankind (CHM).

Finally, extensive Appendixes provide the reader with comprehensive United Nations documentation concerning the consideration by the U. N. of the subject of international direct television broadcasting by satellite and the elaboration and adoption by the United Nations of the above mentioned Principles.
