"The Cologne Commentary on Space Law is a three-volume annotation on the written norms of space law as enunciated through the Treaties of tjhe United Nations and its General Assembly Resolutions. With more than fifty-five years of spaceflight and a corresponding period of international outer space legislation, the rule of law has been crucial in the continuous growth of the scope of activites in outer space. The evolution of a considerable body of international space legislation has been also supplemented recently with the enactments of various national space laws and regulations."--Back covers.
