Create a Global Code of Conduct for Outer Space
The rules governing human activity and cyber warfare activity in space are seriously out of date argues Patricia Lewis of
Chatham House. With well over 1 000 satellites and more owners - countries, militaries, international organizations, the commercial sector and, recently, individuals - there is a pressing need for global norms to regulate future behaviour in space. The UN or the
International Telecommunications Union (ITU) could host a new approach, or, like the Ottawa process for landmines, a group of like-minded states could assume collective responsibility.
