Les principes de liberte d'utilisation de l'espace, de sa non-appropriation, de son utilisation pacifique, la notion de patrimoine commun de l'humanite demontrent la prise en compte des interets de l'humanite qui irradient le droit de l'espace. L'approche retenue dans cette etude a consiste a souligner que les regles de droit sur lesquelles s'appuient ces interets, n'ont pas pu discipliner l'evolution de la finalite des activites spatiales. Pour corroborer cette analyse, il a fallu montrer qu'en offrant de nouvelles perspectives de developement d'activites commerciales et militaires, l'utilisation de l'espace souleve la question de son exploitation. Cette demonstration d'une certaine prevalence des activites privees sur les activites publiques mais qui se lient egalement aux enjeux de securite nationale, heurte les principes de non discrimination et d'egalite dans les conditions d'utilisation de l'espace. La presente recherche a rappele que ces principes qui s'attachent au fait que les activites extra-atmospheriques sont l'apanage de l'humanite toute entiere, correspondent a des normes de portee tres generale qui sont integrees dans le droit spatial positif. L'idee defendue dans cet ouvrage est que la mise a l'epreuve du droit de l'espace, notamment par le droit prive des activites spatiales, impose de reviser les instruments conventionnels existants du premier. Il est en effet prioritaire de les mettre principalement en adequation avec le droit prive des activites spatiales qui consacre l'exclusivite des interets commerciaux des operateurs spatiaux prives. Dans cette perspective, la necessite d'elaborer de nouvelles dispositions juridiques permettant de combler les failles du droit de l'espace, se heurte au probleme recurrent de la revision des traites internationaux. De ce point de vue, la volonte de l'Etat est essentielle en ce qu'elle n'est que l'emanation de sa liberte d'Etat souverain.

Inspired by the vision of the future of humankind in outer space, an international team of technical experts, lawyers and political scientists examined topical issues of law and policy under the leadership of the editors - not only with respect to international space flight and space exploration, but also in view of the safe and sustainable use of space technology for the benefit of our planet. After all, our original habitat should not be sacrificed on our way to Moon and Mars ! In this regard, this book examines fundamental questions like the problem of space debris, the safe use of nuclear power sources in outer space, the protection of the ozone layer during space launches, the issue of light pollution and the protection of the marine environment during the guided re-entry of space craft into the High Seas. In addition to these problems of technical nature, questions relating to the peaceful, equitable and responsible use of outer space are explored also with regard to issues as space traffic management which must be solved by scientists, lawyers and politicians on an international scale, and supported by an again increasingly interested general public.

With different countries ascribing to different theories of air space and outer space law, Dr. Bittencourt Neto proposes in this Brief a reassessment of the international law related to the extension of state territories vertically. Taking into consideration the vast number of proposals offered by scholars and diplomatic delegations on this subject matter, as well as the principles of comparative law, a compromise to allow for peaceful development is the only way forward. The author argues for setting the delimitation of the frontier between air space and outer space at 100 km above mean sea level through an international treaty. This would also regulate passage rights for space objects during launchings and reentries, as long as those space activities are peaceful, conducted in accordance with international Law and respecting the sovereign interests of the territorial State. Continuing expansion of the commercial space industry and conflicting national laws require a stable and fair legal framework best adjudicated by the United Nations, instead of allowing a patchwork system to persist. The proper framework for developing such regulation is carefully discussed from all angles with a practical recommendation for policy-makers in the field.
