The study finds that the customary ‘no harm’ rule and Article IX of the Outer Space Treaty obligate States to prevent the generation of debris and that the international community as a whole has a legitimate interest in their compliance. A breach of these obligations entails the responsibility of a State and compensation must be provided for damage caused by space debris. The author treats responsibility and liability separately and thoroughly scrutinizes both legal regimes with the help of common analytical elements. Finally, Peter Stubbe argues that a comprehensive traffic management system is required so as to ensure the safe and sustainable use of outer space.Studies in space law ;Volume 12.Space debrisLaw and legislationSpace lawJus cogens (International law)Government accountabilitySpace debrisLaw and legislation.Space law.Jus cogens (International law)Government accountability.341.47Stubbe Peter(Jurist),1637229MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910814686003321State accountability for space debris3978944UNINA
