Cologne Commentary on Space Law Volume II - ( II)

The Cologne Commentary on Space Law is a three-volume annotation on the written norms of space law as enunciated through the Treaties of the United Nations and its General Assembly Resolutions which was first published between 2009 and 2015. °°In the Commentary, a broad international authorship of worldwide recognized experts addresses the historical overview and provides a provision-by-provision interpretation of the international treaties and the UN GA Resolutions on space law. Thereby, in-depth insights into the subsequent State practice, present-day applicability and future perspectives of the norms of space law are provided.°°Volume II builds upon Volume I of the Commentary and addresses the four UN Treaties that were adopted after the 1967 Outer Space Treaty: the 1968 Rescue Agreement, the 1972 Liability Convention, the 1975 Registration Convention and the 1979 Moon Agreement.°°For the Russian translation of Volume II, the text of the Commentary has been updated to reflect the relevant most recent developments up to 2019.
