War in space is not inevitable. Outer space is not ‘wild west.’ There are fundamental rules of international law that govern all space activities, including military space activities. Outer space must be used for the benefit and interest of all states and for peaceful purposes. Outer space must be explored and used in accordance with international law, including the Charter of the United Nations, in the interest of maintaining international peace and security. However, the sources of international legal principles and rules applicable to all space activities are varied and thus they create a complex legal regime governing outer space.

Professor Ram Jakhu's lecture will address key principles of international law, which must be understood and studied from a neutral perspective and applied effectively. He explains that this is necessary to uphold the rule of law and avoid the use of force in outer space not only to maintain international peace and security but also to assure unprecedented benefits of outer space to the entire humanity.
