Concept
Sovereignty In Space 0
Sovereignty in Space refers to the complex legal and political challenges of extending national jurisdiction and ownership rights beyond Earth, as traditional concepts of territorial sovereignty do not directly apply in outer space. This concept is governed by international treaties, such as the Outer Space Treaty of 1967, which prohibits any nation from claiming sovereignty over celestial bodies, promoting space as a domain for peaceful use and exploration by all humankind.
