空间碎片主动移除法律规制的构建

The Construction of Legal Regulations for the Active Debris Removal

随着空间碎片数量的激增,当前的碎片减缓措施已难以应对外空轨道安全挑战,急需构建空间碎片主动移除机制。现行国际法在空间碎片的识别标准、主动移除决策机制和保障机制方面缺乏规定。空间碎片主动移除是所有航天国家道义上的义务。为此,国际社会应迅速行动,在联合国框架下设立国际碎片管理机构,制定相关准则,以明晰空间碎片的法律属性、移除条件与标准,并设立保障基金与责任制度,确保主动移除机制稳健发展。

With the increasing number of space debris,space debris mitigation is not enough to solve the problem of space debris that seriously threatens the safety of space activities.The current international law lacks the identification standards of space debris,also lacks a decision-making mechanism and guarantee mechanism for active debris removal.Active debris removal is a moral obligation of all aerospace countries.The international community should act swiftly to establish an international debris management agency under the framework of the United Nations and formulate relevant norms to clarify the legal attributes,removal conditions,and standards of space debris,while also establishing a safeguard fund and a liability system to ensure the steady development of the active debris removal mechanism.
