The term "peaceful uses of outer space" appears in official government statements and multilateral treaties. However, the examination of the state practice leads to the conclusion that this term is still without an authoritative definition. It is a source of considerable confusion and creates a legal grey area. The widely accepted interpretation of this key term of space law prior to the begin of space age, namely that "peaceful" means "non-military, "was soon contradicted by the practice of two space powers. In the period between 1957 and the adoption of the Outer Space Treaty in 1967, these two powers had placed into orbit a number of military payloads and had come increasingly dependent on space technology in their military planning. Since the term "peaceful" continues to be used, it is useful to examine the meaning of this ambiguous adjective.

Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat. A cookie is a small text file placed on a visitor's computer by a Web site in order to remember information. While the technology behind cookies is fairly simple, the implications behind their use are increasingly complicated and far-reaching. Firstly, the technology is not well understood resulting in widespread confusion about why and how they are used. Secondly, since cookies have the ability to store or index personal information, their use can carry legal implications in terms of privacy far more serious than most people realize. Thirdly, cookies can pose a security risk if not used correctly.

Secrétariat du Conseil du Trésor du Canada. Un témoin est un petit fichier texte placé dans l'ordinateur d'un visiteur par un site Web dans le but de mémoriser de l'information. La technologie utilisée est relativement simple; toutefois, les incidences de l'utilisation des témoins se révèlent de plus en plus complexes et profondes. Dans un premier temps, on ne comprend pas bien la technologie, ce qui ne fait qu'augmenter la confusion quant aux raisons et à la façon de les utiliser. Deuxièmement, les témoins peuvent emmagasiner ou indexer des données personnelles, ce qui, au plan de la confidentialité, peut avoir des conséquences juridiques beaucoup plus graves que ne le croit la majorité. Troisièmement, les témoins peuvent parfois poser un risque pour la sécurité s'ils ne sont pas utilisés correctement.
