Dispute Settlement
- type
oral
- Description
The peaceful settlement of international conflicts is a fundamental principle of International Law. Disputes relating to outer space activities encompass specific features, which determine the best suited resolution mechanisms. In a fast-growing space economy, marked by the development of new technologies and capabilities, disputes may naturally ensue. The interests of traditional and new space actors, as well of space faring and non-space faring nations, must be considered. Parties to a space related dispute should seek a solution by peaceful means in order to reach sustainable, effective resolutions. On December 6, 2021, the PCA Optional Rules for Arbitration of Disputes Relating to Outer Space Activities celebrated ten years since its adoption, justifying proper evaluation. The advancement of dispute settlement mechanisms, including arbitration, mediation and conciliation, are to be addressed, identifying particularities and perspectives.
