Abstract

This essay aims to analyze the Treaty on Principles Governing the activities of States in the Exploration and Use of Outer Space, including the Moon and Other Celestial Bodies of 1967, also called the Outer Space Constitution, defending the thesis that states that the mentioned treaty is an integral part of the United Nations Charter as an extension of the principle of the maintenance of international peace and security stated in the first article of the Charter. At first, this essay makes a historical background of the events that lead to the creation of the treaty, and later there is a revision of the articles to illustrate the thesis and demonstrate how the treaty looks to create a longstanding juridical regime for the fulfillment of its goals. This analysis answers to the actual binding crisis of space law providing a new approach to the document.
