Studies On The Evolution Of The Dispute Settlement Mechanism Of Outer Space

With the development of science and technology, the outer space activities havebecome increasingly frequent. Countries are no longer the only subject of spaceactivities, private capital began to appear on the stage in outer space activities. Thetraditional state centric space dispute settlement mechanism can not meet the needs ofthe development of space activities.The outer space dispute settlement mechanismneed to be changed. In this paper, I am going to analysis all the aspects of the changeof the outer space dispute settlement mechanism.From a theoretical point of view, the traditional outer space dispute settlementmechanism can not adapt to the development trend of outer space commercializationand privatization, and because of their lack of provisions they need to be changed.Study on dispute settlement mechanism may change direction in outer space, thesystematic arrangement of all kinds of theories, helps to clarify the dispute settlementmechanism of outer space development, find the most suitable method to solve thedispute of outer space.Changes in the Permanent Court of arbitration of thedispute"PCA Optional Rules for Arbitration of Disputes Relating to Outer SpaceActivities" for the realization of the dispute settlement mechanism to find abreakthrough. But the domestic and foreign scholars pay less attention to this rule. Acomprehensive study on this issue is helpful to grasp the legal mechanism of thePermanent Court of arbitration to solve the dispute of outer space, and to put forwardopinions and suggestions on the use of international arbitration to solve the Chineseouter space disputes.From a practical point of view, the provisions of the traditional disputesettlement mechanism outer space are too principle, resulting in the operability is notstrong, since this mechanism in operation for more than50years almost no use(a caseof "only the case954" did not start the claims commission which has the legal natureof the program). Standard arbitration court enacted the "arbitration rules" haveoperability in practice, studies the "arbitration rules" helps to establish a set of disputesettlement mechanism of the real can be used in outer space, and can be targeted putforward China’s countermeasures in the face of this kind of situation can choose.This paper will take a variety of research methods in the field of internationallaw research, comprehensive analysis of traditional space dispute settlementmechanism, sorting out the dispute settlement mechanism of outer space directionchange and analyzes the rationality. Established on the basis of the research on thestandard arbitration court dispute settlement mechanism of the outer space, analyzes the legal basis and operation mode. The last will be concentrate on how to make gooduse of the dispute settlement mechanism in our country, and how to participate in thetransformation of the dispute settlement mechanism of the outer space put forwardtheir own opinions.In general, the Permanent Court of arbitration passed "PCA Optional Rules forArbitration of Disputes Relating to Outer Space Activities" are fair and reasonableeffective means of resolving the dispute over the outer space. It not only solves thedisadvantages of the traditional outer space dispute settlement mechanism to thecountry as the only subject, give consideration to both efficiency and fairness. Thedispute settlement mechanism is worth our country the international law scholars andindustry practitioners serious research and reasonable application.
