Abstract

This paper examines the question of international legal jurisdiction and control of space objects. The international legal status of a space object, particularly the legality of jurisdiction and control, is a prerequisite to either international or national remediation efforts. The international community must understand what the legal status of these objects is and thereafter consider what their status could and/or should be given the public policy objectives of remediation. While public international space law does speak, to some extent, to the legal status of such objects, a close examination of public international space law reveals that the legal regime is either silent, ambiguous, or speaks to a point contrary to the public policy goal of facilitating and promoting space debris remediation.
