Fundamentals of National Space Laws

............................................................................................

Description
With the halt in the development of international space law, the focus has shifted to national space legislation to regulate the ever-increasing space activities. Unfortunately, very few States have space laws at present, and there is no uniformity in the approaches of those that have such laws. Most of the space-faring nations, including India, China and several European States, do not have the requisite legal regime to regulate space activities. In the absence of legal clarity, private players are hesitant to undertake space activities in these jurisdictions. Thus, enacting balanced national space laws is the need of the hour in several jurisdictions across the globe. Fundamentals of National Space Laws intends to cover all the major tenets relating to the development of national space laws. Hence, it will be an invaluable resource on the bookshelves of every space law and policy maker as well as every space lawyer.
