About this book
This book synthesizes information on the norms of play, to allow the grasp of their relative weight and interactions in the assessment of liability risk for launch activities. It reveals a legal framework presently lacking sufficient predictability for an efficient liability risk management:
- the waivers of liability suffer weaknesses as do all such clauses, and lack uniformity and reliability; and
- the Space Treaties contain ambiguous terms preventing predictable determination of the States responsible for authorizing and supervising launch activities and for damage compensation, and do not reflect the liability of launch operators.
- harmonizing waivers of liability to improve their consistency, validity and flow-down; and
- improving the Space Treaties for their implementation to non-governmental launch activities.
