Proceedings United Nations International Institute Of Air And Space Law Workshop On Capacity Building In Space Law

"The Workshop provided an overview of the United Nations treaties and principles on outer space, examined and compared various aspects of existing national space laws and considered the development of university level studies and programmes in space law. This multi-levelled approach to capacity building in space law sought to increase knowledge and awareness of the international treaties and principles developed under the auspices of the United Nations relating to space activities and to provide a basis for their implementation on a practical level through the development and administration of domestic legislation and regulatory regimes. ... The workshop comprised three sessions, each focusing on a different issue relating to space law and education. Presentations by invited speakers on the international legal regime for outer space, national space laws and educational programmes in space law were followed by round-table discussions. Thirty-eight papers were presented by invited speakers from both developing and developed countries. The sessions of the Workshop focused on (a) the international regime for outer space; (b) national space laws; and (c) educational programmes in space law."--Introduction.
