Comments on Defects and Promotion of International Legal System Governing Protection of Space Environment

Protection of space environment has been established as a principle by 1967 Outer Space Treaty.This idea has also been specifically enshrined in many provisions of space law treaties.Unfortunately,these provisions cannot effectively solve the problem of pollution of space environment,the space debris in particular. Such absence of systematic legal frame governing space environment is related to the definition of space debris.Although many technical measures have been taken within some states,a unified legal regime is still necessary.
