Abstract: | The commercialization of space activities would increase if countries or companies could get more financial support. Space activities involve a high level of risk, however, which is why financial institutions are reluctant to advance credit. The International Institute for the Unification of Private Law (Unidroit) is interested in finding legal ways to satisfy commercial and financial needs by improving creditors’ guarantees and it has been proposing a draft Protocol on matters concerning space assets. This article aims to show why this subject has attracted the attention of both developing and developed countries. It also attempts to predict the consequences of the Protocol for space activities in developing countries. |
