Abstract

The chapter delves into the transforming landscape of outer space as a new theater of military operations, highlighting the ethical and legal complexities that arise. It discusses the historical evolution of global commons, the challenges posed by the militarization of space, and the need for international cooperation to address these issues. The text also explores the potential consequences of a space conflict and the ethical considerations that must be taken into account. By offering a detailed analysis of the current state of space law and the implications of its potential disregard, the chapter provides valuable insights for professionals in the field of international law and military strategy.
