Mexico: New Developments in Space Law and Policy

handle is hein.journals/zlw61 and id is 99 raw text is: Mexico: New Developments in Space Law and Policy By Prof. Julio Daniel Carbajal Smith, Mexico City 1. Introduction In the following a short overview on new developments relating to national space law and space policy in Mexico shall be given. The reader will find in general terms how Mexican space activities are regulated and the Mexican Space Agency is organized according to the Mexican Space Agency Decree of 20102 and the General Terms of Mexican Space Policy of 20113. 2. Mexican Space Agency Decree On July 30', 2010, the Mexican Space Agency was created on the basis of the Mexican Space Agency Decree which consists of seventeen articles which can be summed up as follows: Article 1 establishes the creation of the Mexican Space Agency, which is a public organization with legal personality of its own and technical autonomy in order to fulfill the Agency's aims and responsibilities. The Agency is part of an area coordinated by the Communication and Trans- portation Ministry. Its legal address will be Mexico City, there might be offices and addresses in any other part of the country. In my opinion it is not correct that the Mexican Space Agency is part of an area coordinated by the Communication and Transportation Ministry because it might create political and administrative differences between the Agency and that Ministry, perhaps it is possible that the Agency will not be enough independent and autonomous about decision-making, as a consequence, I think it needs complete independence and autonomy in order to have accom- plishments. 1 Professor for International Law at the Universidad Nacional Aut6noma de Mxi- co (National Autonomous University of Mexico) and member of Alternative Dispute Resolution organizations.
