Title

Environmental Aspects of Space Law and of Space Activities

type

oral

Description

It is well known that the international legal order for space activities came into existence before international environmental law began to develop. Therefore, it is useful to take stock of existing international (space) law with regard to environmental protection for space as well as for space activities. Papers are invited that investigate the lex lata of environmental protection for space activities and make proposals de lege ferenda. Thereby, the interaction between space law and general international law should be taken into consideration.
