Liability in International Space Law
Journal Title: Advanced Space Law - Year 2019, Vol 3, Issue
Abstract
The article is devoted to the analysis of the norms of international and national legislation regulating the issue of liability in international space law and investigation of the grounds for liability in space law. Special attention is paid to the forms and types of legal responsibility for the violation of law in the domain of space activities. The study explores the issue of absolute liability in international space law. The analysis of space law makes it possible to conclude that both in international law and international space law, material liability of states for non-compliance with international law norms in the implementation of space activities is complemented with political liability. There is made a conclusion about the necessity of making amendments to the Law of Ukraine “On Space Activities” aimed to foresee the norms of liability for taking space offences. The solution to these problems is hampered primarily by the lack of experience and judicial practice in this area. Further research in this field will contribute to the development of a systematic approach to international legal regulation of liability in space law.
