درباره این کتاب:

This endeavour has been a process of learning. A process, during which I learnt, unlearnt and relearnt a variety of aspects related to international law. My sincere thanks and deepest respect go to my supervisor, Prof. Ram S. Jakhu, who introduced, guided and enabled me on this process of learning. I am equally grateful to the Faculty of Law, McGill University, for granting me the Erin J. C. Arsenault Fellowship in Space Governance and Graduate Excellence Award in Law. I would also like to place on record my gratitude to the staff and faculty of the Institute of Air and Space Law (IASL), in particular, the Director, Prof. Brian Havel, for his persistent support and encouragement. Sincere thanks also to Ms. Maria D’Amico, the ‘angel’ of IASL for her positive support. My gratitude also extends to Dr. David Kendall, Chairman, UNCOPUOS, for his kind indulgence in providing me first-hand insights into the role of international law in shaping international organisations. I am also indebted to Ms. Mary Lucy Stojak, Director, HEC, and Chair of the Canadian Space Advisory Board, for comprehensively reviewing this work and enriching it with her deep insight, patience and encouragement. Sincere thanks in no small measure to Ms. Pasqualina Chiarelli, Student Affairs Coordinator at McGill University, for her unstinting administrative support and assistance.
