A fan fiction story revolving around the world of "Lois & Clark: The New Adventures" and infringement of ownership is meant. It is just for fun.

 The UN Assembly was in a hubbub, each representative talking to his neighbor in frantic, hushed tones. The Chilean representative had it from very good sources that Russia was about to make a very momentous declaration today.

Petrovich Anton walked up to the podium. His thick and gravelly voice instantly silenced the gathered nations. "Fellow humans of Earth, I am saddened to come before you this day. I do this with a heavy heart, to put aside the past hopes and aspirations of Humanity!"

An audible gasp was heard as the translation went through to the different languages.

The UN Security Council members all watched the proceedings carefully.  Adam Winters from the United States had a schooled, cold façade up. It was terribly obvious that the Russians were going to be thumping their "anti-Kryptonians" bible again. He noticed out of the periphery of his vision that the Chinese delegate seemed almost pleased with what was going on.

"Forty-five years ago, our world was on the brink of devastation and nuclear winter. Bold initiatives were put forth to show that Humanity was united for our greater future. The future of space was to be owned by no single government, no single imperialist nor dictator. It was that shred of hope that buoyed Humanity to step back from the mutual destruction that stared at us from the future." Petrovich stopped a moment to look around at the assembly. He pointedly did not look to the United States delegate as he did so. "But the writers of that treaty did not envision that we would have given away our future to the Aliens among us. It is with great determination that I have been empowered to tell the world that Russia will not stay beholden to a treaty in this New World. Russia is exercising the provision with the Outer Space Treaty of 1967 to withdraw, unilaterally, in the one year specified."

Adam Winters face had gone white. Had the Russians gone mad? This was tantamount to declaring that they would arm their outer space assets with nuclear weapons!

"Humanity! For HUMANS!" the rumbling Russian roared. The answering roar and standing ovation easily showed what most people thought here.

The Secretary General Ledols, an Italian, stood up while calling for order. He looked around as he tried to determine what he should do. He noticed several signaling that they wished to address the Assembly.  He picked the nation that was first on the list. "The Assembly recognizes Amahd Mohamed of Pakistan." A sudden, cold dread filled him.

Amahd stood up and looked straight at the Secretary General. "As a duly appointed representative of Pakistan, I do also withdraw my country from said treat." The Pakistani pulled out a thick envelope and set it on the front of his desk. "Pakistan will not allow our heavens to be usurped by the Alien Imperialists that are attempting to conquer our world!"

Ledeols just stared in shock. He almost failed to acknowledge the next speaker over the roar of the Assembly.

All in all, nearly half of the signatories of the treaty pulled out by the end of the session. In two months, only Japan had not pulled out.  It would be another six weeks before Japan decided to follow the rest of the world.

An old terror was unleashed.
