Antarctic Treaty System

From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.

The main idea of the Antarctic Treaty System (ATS) is to make sure that:

  • Antarctica is used peacefully
  • Antarctica is not used for bad purposes
  • Antarctica is not involved with military use unless for peaceful purposes
  • Antarctica is not owned by one group

The ATS is used for governing the continent.
