Finally, in 1967 Outer Space Treaty was formulated concerning space law and space exploration exhaustively, abolishing the complete and exclusive sovereignty of airspace above its territory.Īir law, in its current usage, refers to the set of principles and series of rules governing the use of airspace and its benefits for aviation, general public and different nations.5 A number of multilateral as well as bilateral treaties have been formulated for the effective and peaceful usage of airspace. The conundrum thereto triggered when Mandl expressed that space law as something different and distinct from the law of air and special legislation is need of hour for judicious and effective use of space. Distinction between the usage of breathable air and space was still bone of contention. Consequently, several treaties and conventions were made, but were unable to solve the problem of space flight or the regulation of space exploration. Paris Convention of 1919, dealing with airspace. The incident gave rise to Paris conference of 1910 with some rules and regulations1, which in a period of time became foundation stone for the formation of first ever international convention i.e. The first effort for codification of international air law took place in 1910 with the making of German balloons and its constant flights over French territory without permission. Such conflict of ideas gave rise to the formation of organizations, bundle of treaties, conventions, and conferences to the make effective use of air and space while maintaining the international solidarity. There were, primarily, three ideas to resolve such power struggle, viz, absolute sovereignty over its territory without any control on other country’s aircraft absolute sovereignty but with the power of control to regulate other’s aircraft and limited sovereignty only to the extent of lower strata of air space. On one hand it advanced globalization, whilst on the other hand it also resulted in imperialist tendencies over the sovereignty of airspace which eventually ensued into the conflict of power. The development of air as a medium of travel in the beginning of last century brought rewards along with difficulties.
