Policing mining: In outer-space greed and domination vs. peace and equity a governance for humanity!

Author

  • Fox, Sarah Jane

Abstract

Staking claim and ownership has remained an antagonistic issue for nations, resulting in many international conflicts. This is particularly so in disputed territories or areas which are deemed the heritage of mankind. In the next 50-years mining in space is set to become a reality and rather than being used to become an asset to man/society and create an equitable world, it is likely to be a battleground for greed and sovereign dominance – an overspill from Earth.
