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

  • Antarctica is used peacefully and taken care of.
  • Antarctica is not used for bad purposes e.g exploitation , animal hunting.
  • Antarctica is not involved with military use unless for peaceful purposes.
  • Antarctica is not owned by one group.
  • Antarctica is not ruled by any country and/or continent.
  • Antarctica is not used for violence e.g testing nuclear missles.

The ATS is used for governing the continent.
