The Aircraft Sector Understanding: New Financing Rules That Reflect The Aviation World Of Today, Daniel Friedenzohn

Aeronautical Science - Daytona Beach

In late February, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) held a signing ceremony for the new Aircraft Sector Understanding (ASU) that governs export financing rules for aircraft manufactured in all OECD countries and Brazil. Unlike a treaty, which results in countries adopting a document with compulsory obligations, this accord is a “soft law” non-binding arrangement. And yet, this multilateral gentlemen’s agreement, in its many versions, has been an effective tool in providing financing rules for civil and commercial aircraft. The ASU sets forth the most favorable terms that can be extended by export credit agencies to eligible parties …

Space For Celestial Symphonies? Towards The Establishment Of International Radio Quiet Zones, Frans G. Von Der Dunk

Space, Cyber, and Telecommunications Law Program: Faculty Publications

The growth of low- and medium-Earth orbit mobile satellite communications poses a threat to radio astronomers which could be mitigated by the establishment of international radio quiet zones (IRQZs), where communications traffic is managed (not eliminated) to allow radio astronomy to continue. Using the prototype of national such zones in the USA, this article explains how the system would work and discusses the international legal parameters that would bound it, drawing on current aerospace, outer space and high seas legislation. Precedents for an IRQZ—Exclusive Economic Zones, denuclearized zones and the Antarctic regime—are also examined.

The Eu Space Competence As Per The Treaty Of Lisbon: Sea Change Or Empty Shell?, Frans G. Von Der Dunk

Space, Cyber, and Telecommunications Law Program: Faculty Publications

The entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon late 2009 introduced a so-called 'space competence' of the European Union into the already complicated legal European 'spacescape' . It has been hailed by some as a sea change, a watershed following which the EU finally and irreversibly has entered the realm of legislating for space, whereas others fail to see it as more than an empty shell, a fig leaf for politicians to be able to show at least some progress towards a united European approach and policy with respect to space.

Whilst some discussion has focused on whether this …

The Origins Of Authorisation: Article Vi Of The Outer Space Treaty And International Space Law, Frans G. Von Der Dunk

Space, Cyber, and Telecommunications Law Program: Faculty Publications

First three paragraphs:

The issue of authorisation of private space activities, the key theme of the present book, ultimately goes back to the principled political disagreements in the 50s and 60s between the two (then) superpowers in space, the United States and the Soviet Union, on the proper role of other entities than states in space activities. The Soviet Union, true to its communist ideology, was squarely against any private activities in most economically-relevant areas of society, but certainly so in an area of such strategic concern as outer space. l By contrast, the United States throughout its existence has …

Liability And Insurance In The Context Of National Authorisation, A. Kerrest De Rozavel, F. G. Von Der Dunk

Space, Cyber, and Telecommunications Law Program: Faculty Publications

First three paragraphs:

It is probably difficult to overstate the importance of liability and the related area of insurance when domestic legislation in the field of space activities is concerned, as such activities still constitute a relatively hazardous undertaking and the risks of something going horribly wrong are always close at hand. Moreover, though fortunately so far major accidents as a consequence of space activities—at least on earth—have not occurred, if they would occur there should be little doubt that they may cause major damage, potentially even of a catastrophic size. As a consequence, the question as regards who would …

Airspace In A Green Economy, Troy A. Rule

Faculty Publications

The recent surge of interest in renewable energy and sustainable land use has made the airspace above land more valuable than ever before. However, a growing number of policies aimed at promoting sustainability disregard landowners' airspace rights in ways that can cause airspace to be underutilized. This article analyzes several land use conflicts emerging in the context of renewable energy development by framing them as disputes over airspace. The article suggests that incorporating options or liability rules into laws regulating airspace is a useful way to promote wind and solar energy while still respecting landowners' existing airspace rights. If properly …

Negotiating The Wind: A Framework To Engage Citizens In Siting Wind Turbines, Sean F. Nolon

Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution

In Section I, this Article explores the promotion of wind energy by looking at the current system of incentives and regulations, including the authority to mitigate adverse impacts. In Section II, the Article looks at the role of citizens in siting generally, how involvement can turn into opposition, and how that opposition can be managed productively. Section III explores three approaches to citizen engagement that have been used for decades-participatory planning, negotiated rulemaking and facility siting. Finally, Section IV provides a framework for the federal government to work cooperatively with state and local governments to create comprehensive wind energy plans …
