Description
This book provides a detailed analysis on the history and development of the Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (UNCOPUOS) and the Conference on Disarmament (CD) and the coordination and cooperation between these two fora. Furthermore, it discusses the future challenges that these fora will have to deal with and conclude in which way the current system can change to cope with the evolution of space matters. This is necessary for the proper discussion of space matters because these matters cannot simply be divided between military and non-military, but are interrelated.
Reviews / Votes
"The book is an unbiased analysis about the complexity and historical events of international relations as it relates to outer space activities. . This book should be considered a milestone in the analysis of COPUOS and the CD mandates and could become a valuable lecture in the topic of space law and policy."
