Abstract

Od početka svemirskog doba, Zemljina je orbita često korišteno okruženje za mnoštvo ljudskih aktivnosti, od komercijalnih do znanstvenih. Ulazak Sputnika-1 u svemir 1957. i svemirska utrka koja je uslijedila otvorili su mogućnosti za takve korisne ljudske aktivnosti. Nažalost, te pojačane svemirske aktivnosti rezultirale su i štetom za svemirski okoliš u vidu stvaranja svemirskog otpada. Dok se na znanstvenoj razini poduzimaju značajni napori za smanjenje onečišćenja svemira, pravni režim koji je potreban za dopunu znanstvenih napora krajnje je nedostatan zbog neuspjeha svemirskih ugovora da suvremena načela zaštite okoliša učine djelotvornim. U svjetlu toga, ovaj rad bavi se relevantnim svemirskim pravom i ukazuje na njegove nedostatke u pogledu zaštite svemirskog okoliša. Posebni naglasak pridaje se relevantnim načelima iz područja međunarodnog prava okoliša koja su primjenjiva i na problem svemirskog otpada.

Abstract (english)

Since the dawn of the space age, Earth's orbit has been a frequently used environment for a multitude of human activities, from commercial to scientific. The entry of Sputnik-1 into space in 1957 and the space race that followed, opened up the possibilities for such beneficial human activities. Unfortunately, these increased space activities also resulted in damage to the space environment in the form of space debris. While significant efforts are being made at the scientific level to reduce space pollution, the legal regime needed to complement the scientific efforts is woefully inadequate due to the failure of space treaties to give effect to modern environmental protection principles. In light of this, this paper deals with the relevant space law and points out its shortcomings regarding the protection of the space environment. Special emphasis is given to relevant principles from the field of international environmental law, which are also applicable to the problem of space debris.
