From safety to security: mapping the normative landscape in outer space
This map is a visualization of the existing normative landscape in outer space. Created from detailed coding of 90 space governance documents and additional expert feedback from an online survey and global series of workshops, it identifies the prevailing values, documented activities, and prescribed behaviours that currently influence practices in space. It is intended to provide a solid foundation for the further elaboration of norms that ensure the safe conduct of security- and military-related activities in space.
A list of recommendations is included as well.
