"Be it resolved, non-legally binding instruments like the Artemis Accords will lead to the harmonization of the law of outer space...”
Time: 10:15 - 11:25
Room: HAC Hall C
Format: Debate
This multidisciplinary session brings together high-level speakers from the fields of space law and policy, politics and diplomacy, to engage in a fun and interactive debate on the impact of non-legally binding instruments on the development of the law on outer space. Non-legally binding instruments like the Artemis Accords have gained relevance following the rapid and successful contributions of emergent State and non-State actors, proliferation of space technologies, and a strained multilateral order.
The debate is organized by the Space Arbitration Association.
Disclaimer: The debate aims to examine the development of the law on outer space in an inclusive and respectful manner. The views and opinions expressed at this event are advanced solely to facilitate dialogue and discussion for educational purposes.
