EXCLUSIVE USE IN AN INCLUSIVE ENVIRONMENT - PHI...

This book aims to find a workable interpretation of the non-appropriation principle that is
compatible with both the existing international space law framework and the move of the private
space industry towards the mining of asteroids and other celestial bodies. It does so by
analysing the rules on the use of orbits as limited natural resources as a concrete indication
of how space resources can be exploited by one user while respecting the non-appropriation
principle and the interests of other users in space. This analysis is complemented by a
thorough review of the meaning of property rights in the context of the existing international
space law regime. This allows the author to distinguish between the lawful exploitation and
unlawful appropriation of resources in a manner that could pave the way for a workable asteroid
mining regime that takes into account the needs of individual companies and the international
community.Exclusive use in an inclusive environment frames the legal regime of the exploitation
of natural resources in outer space as the most pressing example to date of the tension that
arises between the rights of a single spacefaring actor and the interests of the broader
international community. Though academic in its approach in dealing with one of the most
fundamental issues of space law to date  the book has very practical ambitions. By offering a
pragmatic interpretation of the space law principles that are likely to remain the legal
foundations of asteroid mining for the foreseeable future  Exclusive use in an inclusive
environment hopes to inform academics  practitioners and policymakers alike in their future
attempts at working out a fair  equitable and effective management regime for the exploitation
of natural resources in outer space.
