Abstract

Devletler uzaydaki ulusal faaliyetlerinden dolayı Uzay Anlaşması'nın VI. maddesi hükmünce ve aynı anlaşmanın VII. maddesi ve Sorumluluk Sözleşmesi'ne uygun olarak uzay araçlarının vermiş olduğu zararlardan dolayı sorumluluk taşımaktadır. Uzaydaki özel faaliyetler Devletler tarafından izne ve devamlı takip koşuluna uyulduğu müddetçe serbest bırakılmıştır. Uzay alanındaki özel kişilerin yükselişi hem ekonomik hem de stratejik anlamda büyük rol oynayan iç hukuk düzenlemelerinin sayısının çoğalmasının altında yatmaktadır. Bununla birlikte, Devletler’in nasıl bir şekilde iç hukuklarında düzenleme yapmaları gerektiği konusunda bir yükümlülük bulunmamaktadır. Ancak, kanun şeklinde yapılan bir iç düzenleme hukuk politikalarının daha açık ve rekabetçi bir şekilde ortaya konmasını sağlamaktadır.Bu bağlamda, uzay teknolojilerinin gelişmesi ve uzay pazarının globalleşmesiyle, Türkiye'nin deuzay operasyonlarına ilişkin kanun çıkarması bir gereklilik halini almıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacı uzay hukukunun bu yönde Türkiye'de gelişimini sağlamak maksadıyla birtakım önerilerde bulunmaktır. Bu kapsamda, karşılaştırmalı bir yaklaşım izlenecektir. Diğer ülkelerin deneyimleri bizim için yol gösterici olacaktır.

A PROPOSAL FOR ‘TURKISH SPACE OPERATIONS ACT’

Abstract

States bear responsibility for their national space activities according to Article VI of the Outer Space Treaty and liability for damages caused by space objects under Article VII of the Outer Space Treaty and the Liability Convention. The activities of non-governmental entities in outer space have been permitted to the condition of authorization and continuing supervision by the appropriate State Party to the Outer Space Treaty. The emergence of non-governmental entities in the space field has been the origin of the multiplication of national space legislations, which have been economic and strategic tools for States.Nevertheless, States have no obligation to put in place a national space legislation relating to space operations, but it allows States to have a legal policy, which serves the development of local space industry.In this context, with the development of space technology and globalization of space market, the adoption of a national space operations act is also necessary in Turkey. The goal of this paper is to provide some recommendations to contribute to the progressive development of Space Law in Turkey. In this respect, a comparative approach will be used.
