These developments are also relevant for Europe, given the large-scale migrations they can produce. In order to effectively respond to them, it has become imperative to analyse ways in which space data and technologies can be used to uphold human rights and monitor violations. Various international tribunals, such as the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and the International Criminal Court (ICC), are increasingly relying on satellite data and especially images when considering human rights violations cases. This use of space-related technologies represents a trend that promises to continue as the range and accuracy of space-derived data improves. Further, satellite data has important legal implications because it allows the fulfilment of international obligations to be monitored, and offers a powerful tool for dispute resolution. Accordingly, this book examines the use of satellite images for cases concerning human rights violations, since the multitude of humanitarian crises worldwide demonstrate that it is of the utmost importance to analyse how space law, policies and space-related applications could further support the implementation and monitoring of the observance of human rights, thus contributing to enhanced security and sustainable development. A range of relevant areas, such as migration, refugees (including settlements and whether they are adequately supplied with basic necessities), water distribution and quality, housing and settlement monitoring are crucial aspects addressed in this book. In closing, the use of satellite data for legal purposes is not without its fair share of problems and concerns, which are also considered to guide the evolution of this emerging field. 410 0$aStudies in Space Policy,$x1868-5307 ;$v23 606 $aLaw of the sea 606 $aInternational law 606 $aAerospace engineering 606 $aAstronautics 606 $aSpace sciences 606 $aConflict of laws 606 $aConflict of laws 606 $aLaw of the Sea, Air and Outer Space$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R19060 606 $aAerospace Technology and Astronautics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T17050 606 $aSpace Sciences (including Extraterrestrial Physics, Space Exploration and Astronautics)$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22030 606 $aPrivate International Law, International & Foreign Law, Comparative Law $3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R14002 615 0$aLaw of the sea. 615 0$aInternational law. 615 0$aAerospace engineering. 615 0$aAstronautics. 615 0$aSpace sciences. 615 0$aConflict of laws. 615 0$aConflict of laws. 615 14$aLaw of the Sea, Air and Outer Space. 615 24$aAerospace Technology and Astronautics. 615 24$aSpace Sciences (including Extraterrestrial Physics, Space Exploration and Astronautics). 615 24$aPrivate International Law, International & Foreign Law, Comparative Law . 676 $a341.47 700 $aFroehlich$b Annette$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0846439 702 $aT?iatu$b Claudiu Mihai$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910373937803321 996 $aSpace in Support of Human Rights$92513655 997 $aUNINA
