Abstract

Following the adoption of the Unidroit Protocol to the Cape Town Convention on Matters specific to Space Assets, there are still numerous procedural challenges ahead. One such challenge will be finding the necessary number of ratifications to bring the Space Protocol into force. This article discusses how the Space Protocol could be brought into force by courting emerging space actors.

The other two Protocols to the Convention on International Interests in Mobile Equipment (hereinafter referred to as the Cape Town Convention), the Aircraft Protocol and the Railway Protocol, require eight and four ratifications respectively. It should be further noted that the number ten was a compromise between a proposal for twenty ratifications being required and another proposal that only five should be required.
