Disaster risk reduction and international space law

International initiatives aimed at using information obtained through space activities for the prevention, mitigation of disasters and for relief operations are being considered. The international legal mechanisms for improving this activity are examined. It is demonstrated that the use of such space technology, as Earth observation, meteorology, navigation and telecommunications satellite systems, plays an essential role in prevention of natural and man-made disasters and reducing all the negative consequences caused by them. © 2020, Univelt Inc.
