In Resolution A/RES/76/231, the General Assembly has decided to convene an open-ended working group tasked with multiple objectives. The working group is expected to:

•  take stock of the existing international legal and other normative frameworks concerning threats arising from State behaviours with respect to outer space;
•  consider current and future threats by States to space systems, and actions, activities and omissions that could be considered irresponsible;
• make recommendations on possible norms, rules and principles of responsible behaviours relating to threats by States to space systems, including, as appropriate, how they would contribute to the negotiation of legally binding instruments, including on the prevention of an arms race in outer space;
• submit a report to the General Assembly at its seventy-eighth session;

The working group will meet in Geneva for its sessions in 2022 and 2023. Its report will be transmitted to the Conference on Disarmament and the Disarmament Commission by the Secretary-General. In its resolution, the General Assembly also invites States members and observers of the Conference on Disarmament and the Disarmament Commission to inform those bodies of their national space security policies, strategies or doctrines, on a voluntary basis, in accordance with and in support of the mandates of those bodies. 

As the Secretary-General points out in his report A/76/77, the establishment of a working group was also explicitly suggested by a number of States.
