[AOS14-P02] How to establish Core-society in the Space

*NIIHARA ARISA1, Yosuke Alexandre Yamashiki1 (1.Graduate School of Advanced Integrated Studies in Human Survivability, Kyoto University)

We are living in the Age of Artemis, and in a couple of years, people will be landing on the Moon, and in the near future, humans will be living on the Moon. However, with space habitation, there will likely be conflicts among nations and companies regarding the development and ownership of land and resources. Although the Lunar Agreement, which stipulates that lunar land and resources are the common property of mankind, has already been enacted, it is difficult for individual nations to agree on their national interests, and since a significant number of nations do not agree, there are currently no laws in effect. Hence, there is a need to enact rules and laws of common understanding to prevent space conflicts or resolve them peacefully. In order to build a ""core society"" in a limited community with equal rights for all participants around the world, a certain legal consensus based on international law and international treaty frameworks is necessary.
Jurisdiction over goods and other resources in outer space should be granted by UNOOSA, and consideration should be given to having it jointly held by countries with alliances or agreements, rather than by a single country. The management of activities and resources by UNOOSA would prevent conflicts between nations or between companies and private individuals, and granting it a joint jurisdiction would prevent it from becoming a virtual colony and accelerate space exploration under international cooperation.
