Abstract
Space debris is global mounting ultimatum to the enduring maintainability of the Outer Space activities and it ought to be deal in the very beginning. Otherwise, it will be too late. From the last couple of years, the rate at which the space activities have, resulted in the production of debris at very threshold position in a linear fashion. Ultimately, it has become the rendezvous of space debris general place. From couples of years ago, some incidents of collisions have enhanced the space debris accumulation, now crowded the corridor of earth orbit which constitutes the most serious pollutant of the near-earth space environment. Innovations in space applications have enhanced not only our awareness about universe but also daily lives world widely. Actually, the space treaties law neither explicitly forbids the production of space debris nor levies responsibility on the states to remove space debris. Because the absence of definition of space debris reveals the unending ambiguity between space debris and space object. There is no any legal procedure and mechanism available in existing space law regime to remove the space debris. Furthermore, who has the authority to take decision for the removal of space debris from the outer space? International space law does not permit interruption with space objects without the preceding approval from the launching State. This paper focuses on the legal and organizational challenges suggesting to revamp the fuzzy prevailing international space law regime to encounter incoming legal aspects.

IntroductionThe elevating mass of space debris may result in a girdle of debris encompassing the Earth that poses the risk of chain reaction (Kessler & Cour-Palais, 1978) and may begin to increase in an unmanageable manner because of a striking chain reaction (Walker, Martin, Stokes, Wilkinson, & Klinkrad, 2001)

The Declaration of Legal Principles 1963 (Resolution, 1963) that performs like the herald to the Outer Space Treaty 1967, Space object has never been clarified but only mentioned as object sent into the outer space and its constituent ingredients thereof.”
Summary
The elevating mass of space debris may result in a girdle of debris encompassing the Earth that poses the risk of chain reaction (Kessler & Cour-Palais, 1978) and may begin to increase in an unmanageable manner because of a striking chain reaction (Walker, Martin, Stokes, Wilkinson, & Klinkrad, 2001). This phenomenon will enhance the chances of collision ten times and soon endanger all functional space vehicles if the space debris population remains increasing. If altogether three constellations on the list are propelled, it will product in decuple escalation in the LEO satellite populace of debris reveals that we are at the deleterious situation
