چکیده:
At the beginning of the Space Age, the international community faced the challenge of determining the norms governing human activities in outer space. Among these challenges, the issue of sovereignty, appropriation, and property rights in space was one of the most complex. The question was whether states could extend their territorial sovereignty over the Earth to outer space and appropriate outer space and celestial bodies. The solution proposed at that time was to prohibit sovereignty and appropriation of outer space and celestial bodies. However, humans have now set foot on the Moon and are eagerly moving towards other celestial bodies, to the point where they have adopted an economic and commercial approach to space. Once again, this question is being raised by the international community. In these circumstances, it is necessary to re-examine the principle of prohibition of appropriation of space.
خلاصه ماشینی:
In fact, the issue at hand is whether, considering the recent developments in the nature of actors in the space arena (the presence of private entities alongside governments) and the goals of space activities (commercial goals alongside non-commercial goals), and with careful attention to the terms contained in space treaties and also the relatively new practices of governments in the method of using resources in space, it is possible to draw a legal framework that, while preserving the dignity of the principle of non-appropriation of space, also provides more favorable conditions for the presence of private entities.
Finally, the two countries, the former Soviet Union and the United States of America, who were the only actors in the space arena at the time of drafting the principles and treaties of space law, by rejecting the exercise of their sovereignty over outer space, gained international prestige and credibility for themselves.
