摘要

Though international space law is frequently characterised as lacunal, the general nature of the provisions of the existing UN space treaties is such as to cover all activities by public and private entities that can be characterised as exploration or use. The lack of detailed rules regulating every conceivable activity in space should thus not be taken as an indication that there are forms of exploration or use of outer space that escape the application of the fundamental principles of international space law. This realisation is fundamental in trying to understand the current deadlock in international space lawmaking. The UN space law regime is characterised by principles of global cooperation and inclusion that nonetheless only grant enforceable rights of protected use to individual States that arc factually capable of implementing the legally equal freedom of all States to engage in spaccfaring activities (Arts. I, II and IX OST). In this context, it is understandable that technologically advanced States are turning their space law-making efforts to a national interpretation of the existing principles that furthers their own intercstcs instead of engaging in protracted multilateral negotiation processes that risk upsetting the basic balance of the existing space law regime that favours them in the first place. We arc hence witnessing a clear regulatory shift in space law-making, from the international level to the national level. This shift is characterised by an increasing body of practice of a limited number of States in the application of space law principles that were adopted specifically with the intention of guaranteeing access to an inclusive environment for equal use and exploration by all States. The paper assesses the extent to which the interpretation of these universal principles may be affected by a selective application by a small number of States.
