Abstract

As the orbit in outer space becomes denser, the drive to actively preserve the outer space increases. Active debris removal is the answer to this issue. It serves solemn purposes to maintain the space environment and prevent collision between space objects. This action requires high-level technology and techniques which make it prone to accidents. This article examines the applicability of Liability Convention of 1972 and Indonesian Space Act of 2013 for active debris removal and whether its provisions are sufficient for any future legal issues on this matter. A normative juridical method is used for the analysis. The Space Act from other States like France and Austria will also be briefly mentioned and compared to. At the end, it is concluded that although both of the legal instruments are suitable and applicable for active debris removal, there are still some essential aspects that need to be defined namely property and proof of fault. The paper suggests that it should be emphasized that only catalogued debris can be regarded as property, and that the term “fault” at the minimum should have a modest definition that captures the “deviation from the normal operation”.

Abstract

This paper examines the legal issues surrounding the utilization of Earth orbit as a valuable and finite resource for Indonesia and other countries by exploring the monism-dualism debate in the context space law discourse in Indonesia. The study starts with the discussions on monism and dualism in Earth orbit regulations. Then, the article explains relevant legal matters on space activities and the varying stances of some States before subsequently discusses legal divergences in Indonesia. The analysis of the article discloses both consistency and inconsistency between Indonesian national and international space law. The findings of this paper reveal that under the framework of monism, Indonesia can contribute to conforming State practices in international legal matters related to space activities through persistent collaboration as opposed to both persistent objection and acquiescence.
