Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

This elective course will provide an overview of the legal framework for activities in outer space and for the use of outer space technology. At the outset, general principles of space law as a branch of inter¬na¬tio¬nal law will be discussed. Furthermore, other obligations of States and private actors will be addressed. The course will deal with legal questions connected to different kinds of space activities, be it for commercial, scientific, security, or other purposes. The interaction of the different actors in the use of outer space technology will also be analysed, particularly in view of increased privatisation.
This course is part of the specialization ('Wahlfachkorb') in 'The Law of International Relations' and 'Law and Technology'. It will prepare for participation in 'Special Legal Issues of the Use of Outer Space Technologies'.
The course is open also to international students, in particular Eras¬mus and Australian exchange students.
Guest speaker: Dr. Werner Balogh (UN Office of Outer Space Affairs)
