Webinar on liability for damage by space objects: A look at Africa

March 14, 2025, at 8:00-9:30am EST / 3:00-4:30pm EAT/ 12:00-1:30pm GMT

Join us in our Space Law Webinar for a critical discussion on Liability for Destruction by Space Objects.

The inherently hazardous nature of space activities, combined with the rapidly expanding engagement of African nations in the space domain, creates unprecedented legal complexities for the continent. Increased space activity elevates the risk of damage both on Earth and in space, yet many African legal systems are under-equipped to address these emerging threats. This webinar will explore the international legal framework governing liability for damage caused by space objects, with a specific focus on Africa's strategic options when its nations or space programs are involved in affecting their territory or involving their space programs.

Who Should Attend:

• Legal professionals specializing in space law, international law, and insurance.
• Government officials involved in space policy and regulation.
• Representatives from space agencies and private space companies.
• Academics and researchers in space law and related fields.
• Anyone interested in the legal implications of space activities.
