Law of the Air, Space and Sea

The air, space, and sea is a complex domain to explore. Practically but also legally. That's why we put together 23 conventions, treaties, protocols that cover it.The space environment is often described as increasingly "congested, contested and competitive," as was reported to the UN General Assembly's First Committee. The world's oceans provide a common link for the more than 110 nations whose shorelines are washed by their waters. Air law has taken on its international character and emerged on an international plane almost from the very beginning, that is, the first flights between Paris and London, the Paris Convention was concluded in 1919, the year in which that flight took place. All these are facts. We are presenting in this book the legal texts.Summary:1. PAPAL BULL INTER C TERA2. TREATY OF TORDESILLAS3. CONVENTION ON THE TERRITORIAL SEA AND THE CONTIGUOUS ZONE4.
