Abstract
International and National Provisions of Space Law Regulating the Use of Outer Space
Highlights
What is outer space? Can it exist without Man, and if so why? What is the essence of human relations in space? What place do provisions of law occupy in public space relations? It would seem that these questions are distant for an average person and relate exclusively to scientific considerations of highly specialized experts
The mechanism of the legal regulatory basis of outer space is a set of: 1) declared international guarantees of space exploration, based on its recognition as a value that cannot be nationalized, assigned or damaged; 2) national legal treatment of space relations that arise during space activities by a particular country or its representatives; 3) provisions of private space law, which is at the stage of formation
The authors find out that international institutions are focused on maintaining the peaceful use of outer space, but due to modern challenges, not all issues are regulated
Summary
What is outer space? Can it exist without Man, and if so why? What is the essence of human relations in space? What place do provisions of law occupy in public space relations? It would seem that these questions are distant for an average person and relate exclusively to scientific considerations of highly specialized experts. The mechanism of the legal regulatory basis of outer space is a set of: 1) declared international guarantees of space exploration, based on its recognition as a value that cannot be nationalized, assigned or damaged; 2) national legal treatment of space relations that arise during space activities by a particular country or its representatives; 3) provisions of private space law, which is at the stage of formation. A “sub-monopolistic” model of the legal regulatory basis of space relations was applied, that is, an attempt was made to fix an international regime for the exploration of outer space without establishing appropriate mechanisms for total regulation, by declaring the fundamental principles for such activities. The Treaty under study was largely based on the Declaration of the Legal Principles Governing the Activities of States for the Exploration and Use of Outer Space adopted by the General Assembly, but several new provisions were added. National legal treatment of space relations will be considered on the example of space law of individual countries
