Humanity now depends heavily upo n space\, and even a single “day without satellites” would have disastrous impacts for everyone on Earth\, particularly those who increasingly rely on space assets.\n\nSpace technologies\, activities and issues involve Sta tes\, commercial space enterprises\, non-state actors and possibly even te rrorist organizations. As space infrastructure grows more vital to global economic\, business and strategic systems\, the potential of space conflic t therefore appears to increase. Possible armed conflict in space might ha ve devastating implications for the space systems of all nations and perha ps even for life on Earth.\n\nThis 4th Annual Manfred Lachs Conference wil l address issues related to the state of the art in current and future mil itary and security technologies and activities\, the development of milita ry policies and doctrines\, the challenges and risks they represent in ter ms of space security\, the national exploitation of space natural resource s\, space sustainability\, and the peaceful uses of outer space for the be nefit of all. In addition\, presentation will address the adequacy and ina dequacy of the current rules of international space law\, public internati onal law\, and international humanitarian law\, with respect to conflict a voidance in outer space.\n\nVisit our website www.mcgill.ca/iasl/ for up-t o-date information about the conference (including program updates and oth er relevant information).\n\nONLINE REGISTRATION NOW OPEN: bookstore.mcgil l.ca/mlc2016\n\nKindly mlc.iasl [at] mcgill.ca (email Maria Manoli) should you have any questions.\n DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20160527 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20160528 LOCATION:CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 1W7\, Best Western Ville Marie Hotel\, 34 07\, rue Peel SUMMARY:4th Manfred Lachs International Conference on Conflicts in Space an d the Rule of Law URL:/law/channels/event/4th-manfred-lachs-internationa l-conference-conflicts-space-and-rule-law-260425 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
