How Does Criminal Law Apply in Space?​​​​​​​
Outer space is not a legal vacuum. Existing treaties and national laws already provide a framework — but how effective is it?
We will begin with an overview of the current legal regime, including the Outer Space Treaty and the principle of jurisdiction based on nationality and registration.
Who has authority when multiple countries are involved? And what happens when legal systems collide hundreds of kilometers above Earth?

When Space Crime Becomes Reality​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
While space crime may sound like science fiction, real incidents have already raised serious legal questions.
We will examine concrete cases in which criminal law has been invoked in a space context, analyzing how jurisdiction was determined and what legal mechanisms were used.
These examples reveal both the strengths and the limits of the current framework.
