This thesis presents a brief background of the international law and legal bodies that exist for regulating the activities of man in space. This research additionally identifies specific areas where specified space law does not apply or where serious questions about legal applicability exist. One specific area, space militarization, is highlighted with the current legal deficiencies pertaining to this activity discussed in detail. Proposals are presented for dealing with the question of legal regulations over space militarization. These proposals, from the Soviet Union, United States, France and other lesser proposals, are evaluated in light of the problems they purport to solve. Recommendations are presented on what legal actions should be pursued in the space militarization issue, from the international and the U.S. national perspectives. Although recommendations are made, the overall conclusion is that legal control of space militarization in most respects is infeasible and the future for arms in space is unlikely to differ significantly from the history of arms on earth. Keywords: Agreements; International law; International relations; Law; Treaties; United Nations; Artificial satellites; INTELSAT; Interceptor satellites; Military satellites; Space; Spacecraft.
