Abstract
The law relating to space has not changed drastically, what has changed is the context and this drives the need to adapt for contextual applicability. The broad principles of international space law were meant to guide future space exploration and utilization. Consequently, the law by design, is resilient to change and this resilience enables contextual adaptation. This thesis advocates viewing law in abstract, non-traditional terms for application to contemporary issues. Accordingly, a broad based, contemporary interpretation of the principle of peaceful use of space is advocated to envelope the wide variety of challenges to peace inherent in space today. This wide interpretation enables application of the precepts of law of other analogous legal disciplines that enable comprehensive regulation and foster greater international cooperation.
