  • Hi,

    Looking experts are gazing skyward in the process of examining military and legal issues.

    A recent conference, "International Legal Implications of Military Space Operations," brought together experts in law, policy, and academics from around the world to discuss this emerging legal topic.

    The conference was sponsored by the Stockton Center for the Study of International Law at US Naval War College (NWC) Newport, Rhode Island; Harvard Law School Program on International Law and Armed Conflict, Cambridge, Mass .; and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) Regional Delegation for the United States and Canada.

    Army Maj. Chad Highfill, Stockton Center's Professor and organizer of the event. "Governments and corporations increasingly rely on space-based technologies to support many aspects of daily life. Military operations increasingly depend on space-based assets. In light of these trajectories, it is more vital than ever to examine international legal implications of military space operations. The workshop sought to analyze a select array of enduring and emergent legal issues in this area. "
