Space technologies are critical to diverse human activities including communication, education, navigation, and remote sensing, meteorology disaster management and military. Naturally, keeping the space assets secure has become a major necessity for the states. Any damage to such assets would lead to excruciating consequences. In order to ensure safety and security of these assets it is important to establish a mechanism for international cooperation relating to the activities in exploration and use of outer space. For this purpose the European Union (EU) had floated an idea of a code of conduct for activities in outer space in 2008. Over the last four years some discussions and deliberations on the draft circulated by the EU had taken place and certain modifications in their proposals have been carried out and accordingly the draft has been modified.
Appreciating the universality of this subject the EU has put forth this draft as an International Code of Conduct for Outer Space Activities for multilateral negotiations. This book debates a range of issues in regard to this code and presents a diversity of views from experts representing various parts of the world. These discussions involve largely the geopolitical, technological and legal interpretations of this draft.
This book traces the history of judicial activism and its relevance in India since 1773, when the Supreme Court was set up under the Regulating Act. Over the years, the judiciary in India has often been criticised for being too intrusive with respect to the functioning of other complementary organs of the State — the executive and the legislature. Nevertheless, by interfering in parliamentary affairs it has surfaced, in many instances, as a decision-maker on critical matters of governance and policy.
With a fascinating range of sources including legal cases, books, articles in newspapers and periodicals, published lectures, historical texts and records, the author pre-sents the complex sides of the arguments persuasively, and contributes to new ways of understanding the func-tioning of the judiciary in India.
