The IISL’s 15th Nandasiri Jasentuliyana Keynote Lecture on Space Law (2023) highlights a key mission of the IISL: the expansion of the rule of law in the exploration and use of outer space for peaceful purposes. The keynote lecture explores the role that the rule of law holds under international and national space law from the angle of the five regions of the IISL Manfred Lachs Space Law Moot Court Competition: Africa, Asia Pacific, Europe, Latin America, and North America; with the five authors of the keynote lecture each representing one region. Regional understandings as well as historical development of conceptions of the rule of law in outer space are highlighted. The keynote lecture pronounces on how the rule of law can advance the (peaceful) use of outer space by focusing on its commonalities across the globe.
