Professor Elsbeth Magilton’s paper, Finding a North Star: Lessons in Space Law for the Nuclear Regime, has been published in the Space & Defense Journal.
The paper applies lessons from the Artemis Accords to the nuclear arms regime—specifically asking whether strategic soft law agreements could create a stop gap for the shortcomings of nuclear arms control. Soft law can lead to more consistent communications, helping build predictability and trust, which is a recipe for a more secure world.
