2. The United Nations, as key actor, develops and applies the principle of international cooperation as an important norm of international space law.
3. Beyond doubt, the best effective international cooperation for future sustainable development of space activities and space law is, at present, regional space cooperation especially in the form of a regional integra- tion organization.
4. Sustainable space development within the South-East Asian region could powerfully and quickly be propelled by anASEANSpace Organi- zation, whenever established.
5. Space law itself moves forward from one single branch of international law towards multiple branches of law because it is now applicable to all states, international organizations, private activities and even future generations of humankind.
6. In the case of global warming, the interests of the planet and of the next generations will be more at stake than any other interests and rights of any individual, any group, any state and/or any group of states.
7. The exact limitation of space law is not the rule of law but it is the act of state that abuses the law.
8. The definition of the legal personality of actors involved in space activities should clearly be described in space law.
9. In order to solve any space issue, the interdisciplinary approach is one of the major concepts that every space lawyers cannot ignore.
10. The objective of international cooperation is to pursue cohesive action and to share not only the benefits and the common interests but also the obligations and rights among all cooperating countries.
11. Respect for social rule, respect for others, respect for oneself and responsibility for one’s actions are the basic ways of human life in which all human being should practice.
