The 8th Space Debris Workshop (December 3-5, 2018. Chofu Aerospace Center, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA)(CAC)), Chofu, Tokyo, Japan
抄録（英）
This presentation considers possible options of international law making considering the regulation of the space debris removal activities. Space debris may bring about various problems such as the contamination of the orbit and harmful interference against other states' activities. From the legal point of view, relevant issues include (1) the jurisdiction of the removing state (e.g., on what conditions the removing state is entitled to destroy the debris); (2) the responsibility of the launching state (e.g., to what extent the launching state should bear the cost of the removal of the debris; what sort of standards should the launching state adopt when it launches the satellite); (3) the property rights of the owner. Yet, there is neither legally binding treaty which directly deals with these issues nor customary international law, and it is expected that soft-law instruments will play an important part. This presentation will explain what sort of types of law-making instruments are available, taking into account the law-making in the field of space law as well as other areas such as law of the sea and environmental law.
