Review of Legal Norms on Prohibition of Space- based Weapons

Setting down rules and regulations has vital role in supervision the government's space military activities on outer space. In the end of 1960s, space activities hadnt any military value. However nowadays, at least 75% of space objects in order to eliminate military needs launch into space. There is no place for doubt that space military activities increase coming wars. In recent decades, some countries have begun militarization of outer space to advance their national security strategy as a priority. Nevertheless, this trend will threat international peace and security. Existing legal norms failed to provide supervision upon placement and application of unconventional space weapons. The main objective of present research is to answer the following questions: What are characteristics and position of space weapons in viewpoint of international law? Are utilizing the conventional or defensive spacebased weapons justified? Does space- based weapons application not breach the so-called principle "peaceful uses of outer space"? Do existing international law rules suffice for enforcement of outer space disarmament? The results of present research show that the legal norms for limitation of space- based weapons require revision and evolution.
