    Title

    The International Legal Regulation of Outer Space within the Scope of Public International Law

    type

    oral

    Description

    Article III of the Outer Space Treaty confirms that activities in the exploration and use of outer space shall be carried out 'in accordance with international law', with specific reference to the Charter of the United Nations. Moreover, Space Law itself has developed as a branch of public international law. It is evident from the range of space activities that many aspects of public international law - including the Law of the United Nations Charter, International Environmental Law, International Trade Law, International Humanitarian Law, International Human Rights Law - are relevant to the conduct of such activities. These may be through either Treaties or customary law, and it is important to understand how these areas of public international law interact. This session invites contributions that address this interaction, including the difficulties that might be associated with simply attempting to apply existing international law principles developed terrestrially, without any adaptation, to the unique environment of outer space.
