ASPI - Embassy of Japan 1.5 Track Dialogue on Responsible Behaviour in Space
By Malcolm Davis and Khwezi Nkwanyana
Earlier this year, ASPI and the Embassy of Japan in Australia convened a hybrid workshop on responsible behaviours in space; a concept which has emerged as a key focus of the international space policy community. At the workshop, participants discussed the stable and sustainable use of space and management of security challenges in space, and ways to define responsible behaviour in space, including through UN General Assembly Resolution 75/36. Participants at this workshop included academics, practitioners, government representatives, military personnel and legal experts from Australia, Japan, Britain and Southeast Asia.
This workshop and report were sponsored by the Embassy of Japan in Australia.
