Abstract

The Moon Agreement is the least successful of the United Nations space treaties. As a result there is a certain tendency to ignore it. It was, however, the product of much discussion and negotiation. This paper will suggest how, as an elaboration of notions and concepts already present in space law, particularly in the Outer Space Treaty, the Agreement can provide models of future conduct and perhaps even of law in the exploration of all celestial bodies so as to avoid unnecessary damage to their environments.
