The Hague Code of Conduct is a not legally binding instrument. Participation to this code is voluntary and open to all states.
Recognizing the rights of all states to use the benefit of outer space for peaceful purposes, subscribing states are required to implement some general measures, transparency measures (among them annual declarations about their national Ballistic Missiles programmes) and confidence building measures (exchange of pre-launch notifications on their Ballistic Missiles, Space Launch Vehicles launches and test flights).
Austria has been named Immediate Central Contact (ICC) for collecting and disseminating Confidence Building Measures submissions, as well as for receiving and announcing subscription of additional states.
