Review Of Proposed Alliance Of Delta, Northwest, And Continental Airlines, Jonathan Baker, Albert Foer, Alfred Kahn

Amicus Briefs & Court Filings

Dear Secretary Mineta and Assistant Attorney General James: The American Antitrust Institute is an independent education, research, and advocacy organization that supports a positive role for antitrust in the national economy. We are taking the liberty of transmitting to you several questions that we believe need to be answered in the course of a thorough evaluation of the proposed alliance of Delta, Northwest, and Continental (“the DNC Alliance”). We emphasize that these are illustrative rather than exhaustive and that we have not reached an overall conclusion, which we believe must be dependant on an assessment of information that is not …

United Nations Principles On Remote Sensing And The User, Frans Von Der Dunk

Space, Cyber, and Telecommunications Law Program: Faculty Publications

The United Nations Principles on Remote Sensing were adopted by consensus on 3 December 1986. They provide a set of non-binding yet agreed and politically relevant principles to guide the activities of remote sensing by the United Nations member states. The 15 principles are each examined in turn in this chapter.

This chapter deals with the Resolution on remote sensing and its impact on the user and user-relevant issues in an area involving a complex chain of activities with the resulting (legal) relations. While many types of users may be envisaged or are already active in the field, for the …

Non-Discriminatory Data Dissemination In Practice, Frans Von Der Dunk

Space, Cyber, and Telecommunications Law Program: Faculty Publications

A key element of the UN Principles on Remote Sensing is the concept of “non-discriminatory access.” This chapter examines this concept in detail, through a general discussion and through illustrative examples where it is directly related to data policy issues, including ESA, EUMETSAT, and CEOS.

One of the major issues in the UN Principles discussed in Chapter 4 concerns the exact and authoritative interpretation and implementation of the central concept of Principle XII of the UN Resolution, namely the “access to [remote sensing data] on a non-discriminatory basis.” As noted in Chapter 4, “discrimination” essentially entails making distinctions between equal …

Launching Alcantara Into The Global Space Economy - The 2001 Brazll..1an National Space Law The Continuing Story Of National Implementation Of International Responsibility And Liability, Part Ii, Frans G. Von Der Dunk

Space, Cyber, and Telecommunications Law Program: Faculty Publications

1. Introduction-It is by now beyond doubt, that a major consequence of the Outer Space Treaty's Articles VI, VII and Vlll, of the Liability Convention and of the Registration Convention is the requirement for an increasing number of states to regulate private space activities by means of national legislation largely or exclusively dedicated to space and space activities. This is not the place to go into the details of these provisions, or even into the major uncertainties and the absence of clarity still surrounding some of the key concepts concerned. Much attention has been devoted to these issues by experts, …

Note, When Wishing On A Star Just Won’T Do: The Legal Basis For International Cooperation In The Mitigation Of Asteroid Impacts And Similar Transboundary Disasters, Evan R. Seamone

Journal Articles

This Note uses the threat of collisions of large space bodies with the Earth as a vehicle to investigate the legal duties of nations to participate in collective efforts at megadisaster mitigation. Asteroids and comets are space bodies while meteors occupy a less-threatening category. Although they differ in chemical composition and in visibility to the naked eye, large space bodies can endanger multiple nations simultaneously. Space bodies are ideal topics of investigation because the magnitude of the threats they pose is inestimable. Legal obligations to mitigate Earth impacts apply equally well to other infrequent threats that are currently of the …

Intellectual Property Rights As A Policy Tool For Earth Observation Data In Europe, Frans G. Von Der Dunk

Space, Cyber, and Telecommunications Law Program: Faculty Publications

This chapter provides a contribution to analyze and evaluate the possibilities and obstacles of using intellectual property rights as a policy tool in the European Earth observation context. To this end, the generic concept of “intellectual property rights” will be discussed first. Secondly, such an analysis will then be applied to the legal particularities provided by Earth observation from space. Thirdly, a few international treaties on intellectual property rights will be discussed. Fourthly, the particular legal framework available in principle for any policies in Europe will be scrutinized, for example the specifics of the legal order having arisen within the …

"Super Jumbo" Problem: Boeing, Airbus, And The Battle For The Geopolitical Future, Daniel L. Fisher

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

The commercial aircraft industry is important to the United States for both economic and political reasons. Economically, commercial aviation has been the linchpin of the military-industrial complex and a positive actor on many other segments of U.S. industry. Politically, Boeing has ensured the lead of the United States in the aviation industry and aviation exports, which have a beneficial effect on the ability of the United States to export geopolitical power.

Cognizant of this salutary effect of a successful aviation industry on the United States, Europe created and financed Airbus as a direct competitor to Boeing, hoping it would play …

Ukrainian National Space Law From An International Perspective, Frans G. Von Der Dunk, Sergei A. Negoda

Space, Cyber, and Telecommunications Law Program: Faculty Publications

As one of the three former Soviet republics engaged in space activities, the Ukraine has had to formulate new national space legislation as a means of demonstrating a responsible attitude to the international security system, of harmonizing its legislation with that of its international political and economic partners and of creating clear guidelines for investors.This article presents the background to the formation of Ukrainian space law, describes some of the new laws enacted and discusses these within the context of international space law. Particular attention is paid to the legal regulation of commercial activities, to dual-use issues and to the …
