THE OUTER SPACE (COSMIC) LAW PORTAL
Summary. This article presents the research results related to creating
the Unified World Analytical Legal Platform of Outer Space Law (Cosmic Law
Portal).
The study`s results show the uniqueness of Outer Space Law and its
distinctive features, without which it is impossible to create an effective
mechanism for regulating space activities.
The basis of its uniqueness is the environment of application of Outer
Space Law (“Cosmos”), which is not the natural habitat of a human and that
nobody owns.
During the study of Outer Space Law, the processes of gradual formation
of terms, theses, and antitheses as well as the emergence of legal conflicts have
been identified.
At the same time, it is revealed that the processes of the evolution of
theses and antitheses, the formation of terminology, and the creation of
interpretation of terms have not occurred naturally and experimentally but
through diplomatic proposals and political agreements. In turn, this led to
heterogeneity, inconsistency, incompatibility, non-conformities, and ambiguity
of most provisions of Outer Space Law and as a consequence the ineffectiveness
of the process of regulating space activities.
Thus, the study shows the urgent need for the creation of the Unified
World Analytical Legal Platform of Outer Space Law (Cosmic Law Portal) and
the universal cosmic language of terms.
During the research process, the following elements and characteristics
of the Cosmic Law Portal have been identified, the presence of which is
necessary for the formation of effective Outer Space Law: 1) a database of
international and national acts and documents regulating space activities; 2)
mechanisms that monitor and control the evolution of legal theses and the
emergence of antitheses and legal conflicts; 3) mechanisms to provide open and
interactive access to professionals and scientists around the world; 4)
mechanisms of legal analysis; 5) open access mechanisms for the entire world
community with the possibility of voting.
At the same time, the author has identified 7 main stages necessary to
create the Cosmic Law Portal: 1) the comprehensive study of international and
national legal regulation of space activities from the beginning to the present
day; 2) the comprehensive study of the terminology of space activities and Outer
Space Law; 3) the study of the principles of construction of Outer Space Law; 4)
the creation of the Cosmic Law Portal; 5) involving specialists and scientists
from all over the world in the discussion and analysis of legal documents in the
field of Outer Space Law; 6) presenting the platform to the world community; 7)
the research and application of public opinion and public position related to
Outer Space Law.
Keywords: space, space law, outer space law portal, cosmic law portal,
the unified world analytical legal platform of outer space law
