The United Nations currently has five effective international space
treaties, namely the Outer Space Treaty of 1967, Space Rescue
Agreement of 1968, Space Liability Convention of 1972, Space
Registration Convention of 1975, and Moon Agreement of 1979.
However, with recent competition and movements to mine and exploit
natural resources from such entities as the moon, asteroids, etc.,
these outdated treaties no longer address current advancements. It
is imperative that new research is undertaken to urge and progress
new space laws and policies that strengthen international
cooperation and joint undertakings into the exploitation of natural
resources from outer space. Global Issues Surrounding Outer Space
Law and Policy grants a general understanding for the current
issues and methods of solution in the field of outer space law and
policy in the global society. It suggests a revision of the five
international space treaties and presents a new International Space
Agency (ISA) that would use international cooperation and an
International Court of Air and Space Law to promote the speed of
work and fairness in trials of air and space law cases.
Additionally, solutions for the cooperation of the global community
towards joint undertakings and exploitation of natural resources in
celestial bodies is explored. This book is ideal for lawyers,
professors, government officials, space agencies, academicians,
researchers, students, and anyone looking to understand the
complicated problems and methods of solution in international space
law and policy.

Developments in the interrelated industries surrounding air
transportation and space exploitation continue to give rise to new
and challenging problems in international law. As more and more
countries and private entities use outer space for satellite-based
systems of air navigation, telecommunications, and surveillance,
significant economic and environmental issues loom ever larger.
Moreover, the ongoing exploration of space and celestial bodies in
search of commercial possibilities poses new questions, ranging in
substance from the proliferation of space debris to intellectual
property rights. The Warsaw System of intercarrier liability,
although still serviceable, is severely strained by such
developments as the products liability of aircraft and satellite
manufacturers and the liability involved in the construction and
launching of space stations and multipurpose satellites. Aware of
the massive convergence of these legal and political challenges,
over 200 air and space experts - from the airlines and aerospace
industries, from law practice and law faculties, and from civil
aviation authorities at national, regional, and international
levels - met in Seoul, in June 1997, to search for solutions and to
promote and strengthen international co-operation in this crucial
sphere. Twenty-three countries were represented. This book is the
record of their presentations, discussions, recommendations, and
conclusions. The many specific issues and topics raised and
analyzed include the phenomenon of trade in launch services; the
interdependence of military and satellite systems; new remote
sensing technologies and the challenges they present to the Outer
Space Treaty of 1967; new airports; the transfer of air traffic
control functions; the transnational co-production of aircraft;
regional and bilateral air transport agreements; and a great deal
more. Numerous cases from a variety of jurisdictions are cited, so
that the reader may gain a sense of jurisprudential trends in air
and space law as we proceed into the 21st Century.
