The Race back to the Moon: Legal and Geopolitical Implication

4 November 2022, 11:00 – 13:00h EST

The race to return to the Moon is heating up again. The United States and its allies are engaged in a second Moon race against the Russian Federation and China – and this time with even higher stakes. The winner of this race will enjoy economic, military and political advantages for years to come. This will not only play a role in outer space but also here on Earth. As the US-led Artemis missions and the joint collaboration between Russia and China get ready to launch, the focus needs to be on the legal and geopolitical implications of these planned missions to the Moon. Another Cold War might be looming on the horizon if States do not adhere to the principles laid down in the Outer Space Treaty.
