Abstract

The now somewhat historic Second Manfred Lachs International Conference on Global Space Governance was held at McGill University Institute of Air and Space Law in Montreal, Canada, on May 29-31, 2014. This international and neutral forum was attended by over 120 experts from 22 States, both spacefaring and non-spacefaring. The conference was notable in that it brought together not only experts in space law and policy, but also scientists and engineers who are focused on creating new space technology to unlock the secrets of the cosmos and to create a new space system to benefit humankind.
