The Paradigm of Global Governance in the Sphere of Peaceful Use of Outer Space

摘要

Undoubtedly, formation of the international space law branch became possible thanks to the United Nations, an intergovernmental organization for development of cooperation between states. International intergovernmental organizations such as the United Nations now play an important role in the international legal system. Of course, it is necessary to develop international law as the globalization processes in the world become more intense and accessible due to the rapid progress of technology. Development and application of legally non-binding instruments on exploration of outer space should be based on the existing United Nations treaties, principles and declarations on outer space, they should take full account of the needs and interests of developing countries, should not go beyond the existing capacity of countries to develop space technologies or beyond their level of governance of space activities and should not include introduction of hard-to-meet standards or requirements.
