The Conference will take place on the October 12th 2023, at the University of Belgrade Faculty of Law and online via Webex platform.

Participants at the International Conference in Belgrade are invited to discuss the results of their research on international space law. Specifically, following topical issues are proposed (but not limited) to be discussed: what is the state of the legislation on space activities of those states that do not plan to conduct such activities in the foreseeable future? In what direction should the majority of states that are not parties to the Artemis Accords focus the current international legal space policy? What is the optimal specification of the applicable international legal mechanisms of regulation of natural resource activities in outer space, considering the named legislative innovations of the United States and its partners?  What are the options for an effective and constructive response on the part of the majority of the states of the world participating in the 1967 Outer Space Treaty to those changes in the legal regime of the use of natural resources of celestial bodies which are caused by the “Artemis Accords”?

We cordially invite you to participate in the International Conference in Belgrade in presence or online.
