The '''Cynebury Accord''', formally the '''Treaty Establishing Guidelines to Secure the Continued Peaceful Usage of Outer Space''', is a treaty that establishes international space law. The treaty was first signed as a result of an international summit in [[Cynebury]], [[Tretrid]], on November 14, 1975.
The Cynebury Accord's main points are that it prohibits weaponizing space, limits the use of space for only peaceful purposes, and establishes that space is to be free for exploration and use by all nations, but no nation may claim sovereignty of outer space or any celestial body. The Cynebury Accord does not, however, prohibit the use of military satellites for non-combat roles.
