Description

This course provides a basic understanding of the legal regime regulating the use of space, which is necessary in order to apply the law to the many space activities currently (and in the future) being undertaken. This course examines the underlying legal principles that specifically regulate the use, exploration and exploitation of space. It examines the evolution, legal framework and organisational structures of this area of law, and concentrates on the 5 specific international space law treaties as well as the various United Nations Principles. The domestic regulatory systems of a number of countries, including the recently implemented Australian legal regime, are also discussed.
