An Implementation Agreement for the Moon TreatyMay 28th, 2022
The United Nations’ Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space has accomplished much over the decades, most notably the five space treaties and related guiding principles. But it has failed to produce the international framework of laws needed to support humanity’s departure from our home planet. The Moon Treaty, with the proper Implementation Agreement, now offers the best hope for doing so. Such an agreement would need to address many issues, most involving private enterprise and settlements. Although some argue that the Moon Treaty would hinder private space activities, with the proper IA it would in fact support them.
Legal Support for the Private Sector: An Implementation Agreement for the Moon TreatyApril 15th, 2020
The United Nations’ Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (COPUOS), through its consensus process, has accomplished much over the decades, most notably helping to produce the five space treaties and related guiding principles. But it has been unable to produce the international framework of laws that the Moon Treaty calls for to facilitate humanity’s departure from the home planet. This has created a gap in space law that has had a detrimental effect on private activity in outer space. The Moon Treaty, with the proper implementation agreement, now offers the best hope for closing that gap. Such an agreement would need to address many issues, most involving private enterprise and settlements. Although some argue that the Moon Treaty would hinder private space activities, with the proper IA it would in fact support them.
