| Title | Soft Laws relating to Space Activities |

| Abstract | In light of the difficulties in reaching binding legal documents with increasingly diversified space interests, soft laws have been taking up more and more important roles in the regulation of space activities in recent years. The United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) resolutions are a major type of soft law instrument. With the ongoing space commercialization and privatization, UNGA resolutions have filled in the legal vacuum by providing important guidance on legal issues related to specific space activities. The United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (UNCOPUOS) has also played a vital role by issuing guidelines regarding such issues as space debris mitigation and space sustainability. Outside the United Nations (UN) forum, various entities have also been active in the field. The increasing use of soft laws for various existing and emerging space activities is an important way to build consensus on relevant legal issues. |
