Customary Law

In his book “United Nations Resolutions on Outer Space: ‘Instant’ International Customary Law?” (Oxford Scholarship Online), Bin Cheng argues that the General Assembly of the United Nations has no legislative power, but two of its resolutions on outer space, resolution 1721A (XVI) of 20 December 1961 and resolution 1962 (XVIII) of 13 December 1963, have often been hailed as ‘the first chapter in the book of space law’. Examining the legal status of these resolutions, Cheng hopes that, in doing so, some light may also be shed on the nature of the so-called international ‘customary’ law.
