Call for Participation - Working Group on Indigenous Law and Governance and Non-State Peoples' Law and Governance in International Outer Space Law

Dear Members, Prospective Members, and Friends of the International Institute for Space Law (IISL),

We are pleased to invite you to participate in the newly established Working Group on Indigenous Law and Governance and Non-State Peoples' Law and Governance in International Outer Space Law.

Working Group Overview

The expansion of outer space activities, including resource extraction and satellite deployment, necessitates a re-evaluation of existing legal frameworks to ensure globality and inclusivity. This Working Group, under the auspices of the International Institute for Space Law (IISL), aims to address these emerging challenges and opportunities and contribute to the ongoing evaluation of an interplay between international law (lex generalis) and international outer space law (lex specialis).

For more details, please find the Call for participation below.
