Reviews

In an impressive way, the author sheds a new look at State accountablility for space debris, which should change the policies and behaviour of States. He even goes a step further and proposes a legal text for securing sustainable uses of outer space. Rarely has a thesis better combined careful and deep legal analysis with bold and visionary practical steps forward.... With Peter Stubbe's book and the ideas and proposals contained in it, handling the space debris issue can make a big step. Prof. Dr. Kai-Uwe Schrogl, Zeitschrift fur Luft- und Weltraumrecht (ZLW 67,1, 2018).
