SPACE LAW
Space law is the body of international law governing space- related activities, including international agreements, treaties, conventions, and resolutions of the United Nations General Assembly. It encompasses rules, principles, and standards developed under the United Nations’ auspices, as well as national legislation.
Space law addresses various matters, such as preserving the space and Earth environment, settling disputes, rescuing astronauts, sharing information about potential dangers in outer space, using space-related technologies, and international cooperation. Fundamental principles guide space activities, including the notion of space as the province of all humankind, freedom of exploration and use without discrimination, and the principle of non-appropriation of outer space. The Office provides information and advice to governments, non-governmental organizations, and the general public on space law to promote understanding, acceptance, and implementation of international space law agreements.
