§ Positions of Space Rights LLC
Two Positions, One Framework
The company's work rests on two published positions: clarification of the 1967 Outer Space Treaty, and integration of the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights into the legislation governing Outer Space.
For nearly half a century, ambiguity surrounding the legality of private property rights under the 1967 Outer Space Treaty has hindered forward progress in the commercialization of space. We aim to continue gaining favorable affirmation for private property rights under the present U.N. Treaty framework, until the dominant attitude within the international community is such that private property rights may evolve intact under the Outer Space Treaty – and any argument that private property was PROHIBITED in the 1967 Outer Space Treaty is laid to rest after a half-century of ambiguity. We are in position to gain further such confirmation within multiple nations that private property rights are not prohibited under the 1967 Outer Space Treaty, without:
- iLitigation
- iiImplementation of new national legislation
- iiiAccusation of violation of 'national appropriation' principle in Outer Space Treaty Article II
Goal
Favorable affirmation in several nations to ensure compliance with Outer Space Treaty of private party claims to property rights upon celestial bodies, within 1 year, through execution of documentation via requisite legal, consular and diplomatic channels, and appropriate approach to competent authorities.
