Outer space activities, international cooperation and the developing countries

This thesis begins with the examination of the five multilateral space law treaties from perspectives of the developing countries. Next, the genesis and scope of international cooperation in space activities, in relation to the expectations of the developing countries is explored. / In the following two chapters the content of the principle of the common heritage of mankind in space law as well as the transfer of space technology to the developing countries is analyzed in the context of the 1982 U.N. Convention on the Law of the Sea, as amended in 1994. The legal regulation of remote sensing by satellite and the 1996 U.N. Declaration on International Cooperation are critically examined in the following two chapters. / The thesis ends with a comprehensive survey of specific requirements of developing countries in the field of space technology, with special emphasis on the needs, and possible ways to satisfy those needs, of Bosnia - Herzegovina.
