ABSTRACT

In 1919, when International Law was directly recognising each country’s sovereignty over airspace directly above their territory, the space laws were originated. The beginning of domestic space programs during the Cold War led to the creation of International Space laws. This was initiated by International Council of Scientific Unions. Treaties on Space work governing the activities of outer space and moon and other celestial bodies have served as the legal constitutional framework and set of principles and procedures to constitute space laws.
