8.2 Importance of International Law of Outer Space

The importance's case (the exam's list): (1) the order's provision (the lawless commons' prevention — the sovereignty's avoidance in space: the OST's genius); (2) the peace's keeping (the WMD's exclusion; the demilitarisation's partial regime — the Moon-and-celestial bodies' peaceful use); (3) the responsibility-and-liability's allocation (the damage's-and-the rescue's conventions — the falling-object's justice); (4) the cooperation's engineering (the rescue-and- return, the registration's transparency, the information-sharing); (5) the commercial revolution's governance (the satellites-and-telecom, the launch services, the new space economy — the $- trillion's regulation); and (6) the global South's stakes (the benefits' sharing — the common- province principle; the remote-sensing-and-education for the developing states; Nepal's own satellite-and-data interests — 8.8's faces).
