Abstract:
This important new collection of studies in international space law was written by a leading authority in international law, air law, and space law. The book's twenty-six articles fully examine the major developments and issues of the law governing human activities in space--from television broadcasts, the regulation of space junk, and the governance of State activities on the moon to the legal status of astronauts, the nationality of spacecraft, and arms control. These papers also examine the effect and influence of UN Treaties in this area. The author has, in his examination of this exciting branch of the law, drawn from it valuable lessons for the future development of international law in general.--Publisher description.
