Abstract

There is no direct prohibition of the military use of space in international space law, and such use is actively conducted, especially for reconnaissance, but not for aggressive purposes. However, new types of weapons are being created and tested, which can be placed in space very soon. The article shows that the Outer Space Treaty should be interpreted from the standpoint of the UN Charter; the division of rights and obligations in order to justify violations of the Charter is unlawful; the restriction of the ʻweaponizationʼ of space is necessary to ensure the normal existence of all mankind.
