Schematic Overview of National Regulatory Frameworks for Space Activities

In accordance with the recommendations of the Working Group of the Legal Subcommittee on National Legislation Relevant to the Peaceful Exploration and Use of Outer Space, and the workplan under this agenda item, endorsed by the Subcommittee, Member States are invited to provide to the Secretariat information for the completion of the schematic overview of national regulatory frameworks for space activities ( A/AC.105/942, Annex III, para. 22). The Working Group had before it a conference room paper prepared by the Secretariat containing a schematic overview of national regulatory frameworks for space activities in the form of a table demonstrating existing national regulatory frameworks under a set of regulative categories.

Member States are invited to examine the substantive content of the table and revise the text in the respective columns, as appropriate, by providing any corrections or updates to the text relating to respective national legislation. Member States that are not included in the table are invited to provide information accordingly. The table, as corrected and updated, will be presented in a conference room paper to the Legal Subcommittee at its fifty-second session, in 2013.
