Current challenges regarding arms control and the law of outer space

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This chapter examines the legal framework applied to stationing weapons of mass destruction in outer space and on celestial objects. It also outlines the most important organisations and tries to explore the current and near future challenges related to this issue-area. The legal framework is currently built on the 1967 Outer Space Treaty (OST), which has been ratified by nearly one hundred states and signed by nearly thirty more. In general, it prohibits the stationing of weapons of mass destruction in outer space and on celestial objects as well as any military activities. The general aim is to ensure the peaceful use and exploration of space. The chapter analyses the OST and evaluates its performance and politico-legal results. Apart from the OST, the experts’ work in various international and domestic organisations has also produced results (e.g. UN resolutions). The chapter will give an overview of these as well. As a result of technical and political development (e.g. the US missile defence programme, new weapons to be used in outer space), the system of the OST now clearly seems to be unsatisfactory to many political actors, so plans for further international legal development are possible. This chapter will also outline those developments.
