Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

This elective course will deal with some special problems in the international legal regulation of outer space. These include liability for damage caused by space activities on Earth and in outer space, space debris and environmental issues in outer space, codes of conduct and military uses of outer space, legal problems connected to direct television broadcasting and remote sensing, international cooperation (in particular in the International Space Station ISS) and space tourism.
In addition, students will participate in a space law 'moot court', involving a dispute relating to issues in outer space law to be held before the International Court of Justice.
This course is part of the specialization ("Wahlfachkorb") in "The Law of International Relations" and "Law and Technology". Prior participation in the course "General Legal Framework of the Use of Outer Space Technologies" is recommended.
The course is open also to international students, in particular Erasmus and Australian exchange students. Students are expected to do preparatory work already on beforehand by long-distance learning (Moodl e-learning platform).
