As it is standing now, space law is mostly a product of the Cold War and, as such, a compromise between the capitalist and socialist ideologies. As a result, it forms a separate block of international law obeying to original principles. Space law is a reality based on several international treaties and some practice but, no major international success in improving or expending the original rules have been achieved for a while. This situation had driven certain to stress that important matters remain underdeveloped and that some specific rules are missing. In fact, the actual evolution of the world is rising the question of the viability of the general principles presently governing outer space. In our opinion, those unattended issues include the important growth of the commercial exploitation of space in our globalisation context as well as the question---prompted by the unilateral approach of certain States---of how and by whom Space should be controlled or policed.
