Authors

This paper provides an overview of the current international and national regulation in relation to remote sensing data, with a view to analysing its effectiveness in the face of modern demands for (more) information. In a preliminary review, the international legal instruments and national laws relevant to the subject will be analysed. Thereafter, the national legislation of some major space-faring nations will be examined as a means of establishing differences in the regulation and handling of remote sensing data, alongside its effects on information policy. The final part of the paper focuses on whether there is a need for a revised approach to the international legal regulation of remote sensing data and control of its use. This latter point is important in the face of publicly or privately enforceable restrictions on access to essential information. The article thereafter highlights the most important issues to be addressed by any such proposal for reform.
