Space sustainability: Current regulatory challenges

Gábor Sulyok Mónika Ganczer Balázs Bartóki-Gönczy

Publication Name: Hungarian Journal of Legal Studies

Publication Date: 2024-12-20

Volume: 65

Issue: 2

Page Range: 260-281

Description:

Nowadays, outer space is becoming increasingly congested, contested and competitive. Humanity's growing dependence on outer space and experiences with the new space race have necessarily turned the attention of the international community to the safety, security and sustainability of space activities. This paper focuses on space sustainability and seeks to highlight some of its most important regulatory challenges. These challenges include the establishment of an appropriate space traffic management system, the mitigation of space debris, and the utilization of space resources. Following the overview of related problems, the paper examines the urgency and the modalities of appropriate legal regulation.

Thoughts on the necessity of security council reform

Gábor Sulyok

Publication Name: Acta Juridica Hungarica

Publication Date: 2007-06-01

Volume: 48

Issue: 2

Page Range: 143-167

Description:

The declared objective of recent efforts to reform the Security Council is to increase effectiveness. A careful investigation applying certain theses of organization theory, however, reveals that neither the prevailing structure nor the working methods of the Council unavoidably hamper the achievement of organizational goals; therefore, arguments pertaining to the issue of effectiveness do not necessarily justify reform proposals. A similar conclusion can be reached by examining other possible causes of reform, namely the fundamental change of organizational environment, power struggles between various principal organs of the United Nations, and some harshly criticized features of the Council itself. It seems that the necessity of reform is rooted in various individual and highly subjective interests of member states rather than objective circumstances, and the organization has no other option, but to fulfill their demands in order to secure its own survival. © 2007 Akadémiai Kiadó.

Reconstructing the Definition of Space Debris

Gábor Sulyok Mónika Ganczer

Publication Name: Air and Space Law

Publication Date: 2025-12-01

Volume: 50

Issue: 6

Page Range: 537-558

Description:

The international community has realized that space debris is a global concern that should be addressed with a sense of urgency. Keeping in mind the limitations of the prevailing normative framework, the optimal solution would be to address the problem by way of universal lawmaking. However, any universal lawmaking effort presupposes the creation of a uniform definition of space debris. Non-binding international standards and national documents currently contain a variety of definitions. The coexistence of divergent definitions may lead to fragmentation and legal uncertainty, and their restrictive approach may become untenable as humankind ventures deeper into outer space. Based upon these considerations and adopting a proactive mindset, the present paper aims to re-evaluate the prevailing definitions with a view to proposing a comprehensive, feasible and durable definition covering all extant and future forms of space debris. The analysis commences with an overview of selected universal, regional and national definitions. This is followed by the identification, reassessment and possible revision of shared elements of the definitions concerned. The reassessed and revised elements are then assembled to propose a new definition to contribute to the ongoing discussion on space debris.
