Contradictio In Terminis Or Realpolitik? A Qualified Plea For A Role Of 'Soft Law' In The Context Of Space Activities, Frans G. Von Der Dunk

Space, Cyber, and Telecommunications Law Program: Faculty Publications

Discusses the issue of 'soft law' in the context of space activities, the characteristics of 'law' and '(international) space law,' the role of 'law' per se in the context of space activities, the use of qualified language in legal documents (including clauses beginning with words like should or may).

It is finally submitted that, while never losing sight of the benefits of a clear and coherent legal framework probably still best reflected through a treaty regime, in the arena of space activities there is considerable benefit from such mechanisms usually labelled 'soft law', whether in the context of customary …

Another Additional To National Space Legislation: The Austrian Outer Space Act, Adopted 6 December 2011, Frans G. Von Der Dunk

Space, Cyber, and Telecommunications Law Program: Faculty Publications

On December 6, 2011, the Austrian Parliament unanimously adopted the Bundesgesetz über die Genehmigung von Weltraumaktivitäten und die Einrichtung eines Weltraumregisters (Weltraumgesetz), or Austrian Space Act.

Following the same analytical approach as with regard to the Swedish, UK, South African, Russian, Australian, Ukrainian, Norwegian, Brazilian, and Dutch national space acts, the present paper will analyze this most …

Space, Cyber, and Telecommunications Law Program: Faculty Publications

The governance of outer space is a key factor in determining whether that area will continue to remain open for scientific and other peaceful activities for the benefit of all mankind. At the same time, it is widely recognized that such governance is far from comprehensively realized as of today, and to the extent it does exist moreover, challenged by major developments, in particular in the area of private participation to space activities.

Taking such developments into account, efforts to further develop a proper system of governance for outer space often look for help to other existing, often more elaborated …

The Intersection Of Law And Ethics In Cyberwar: Some Reflections, Charles J. Dunlap Jr.

Faculty Scholarship

The purpose of this short essay is to reflect upon a few issues that illustrate how legal and ethical issues intersect in the cyber realm. Such an intersection should not be especially surprising., Historian Geoffrey Best insists, “[I]t must never be forgotten that the law of war, wherever it began at all, began mainly as a matter of religion and ethics . . . “It began in ethics” Best says “and it has kept one foot in ethics ever since.” Understanding that relationship is vital to appreciating the full scope of the responsibilities of a cyber-warrior in the 21st century.
