Channel: Secure World Foundation
Date: 27/06/2022

The creation of and adherence to a rules-based order helped encourage global access to and economic development in both the air and maritime domains on Earth. While outer space does have some existing rules-based frameworks, they are underdeveloped in some areas, often have broad interpretations, and lack monitoring and enforcement. This panel will discuss steps that can be taken to reinforce and solidify space governance to help promote responsible behavior and space sustainability.
