Abstract
The article deals with theoretical and practical legal aspects of the problem of man-made clogging of near-Earth space. The analysis shows that international space law does not cope with the current challenges and threats associated with man-made clogging of outer space. It has been shown that the Guiding Principles on the Prevention of the Development of Space Debris are not legally binding and subject to the use of the State exclusively on a voluntary basis. The necessity of forming an international legal mechanism for the protection of outer space from man-made clogging arises. The necessity of forming an international legal mechanism for the protection of outer space from man-made clogging arises. The necessity of developing and concluding the Convention on the prevention of the formation of space debris and the purification of near-Earth space is substantiated.
