Need for Legal Codification in Technologies Dealing With Decluttering Outer Space Debris to Avoid Prospective Dispute

Abstract

Humanity's collective heritage is space. The ability to sustain space is essential for further investigation. It all comes down to the series of issues that crop up in space research. Despite the fact that science and technology are resolving the problems, certain solutions should be based on legal considerations. Five conventions that relate to the law of space are available. However, a number of minor concerns have gone unresolved in these conventions. The Office for Outer Space Affairs of the United Nations provided certain committee reports and recommendations (UNOOSA). Future conflicts relating to the invention of decluttering devices have been the main subject of this study. When a private corporation develops a new device, they shouldn't be allowed to monopolize it. Future demand for device usage or services will be enormous. A rule needs to be made and it should be an Erga Omnes obligation to all the state parties in order to address the commercialization issue on the use of technology and prevent the ambiguity in the Liability Convention that is pertaining to harm brought about by the space objects while cleaning up the space debris.
