| Summary |
Civil Liability for Damage Caused by Global Navigation Satellite System' aims to explore whether current international law is adequate to deal with the issue of civil liability in the context of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). It has come to pass that national security, economic growth, and transportation safety ? not to mention such infrastructure as banking and electricity ? are severely dependent on the positioning information, navigation capabilities, and time dissemination provided by GNSS. However, GNSS is not risk-free. The more humanity depends on GNSS, the more risks it has to face. It is irresponsible to wait for an accident to happen merely to justify the need for an appropriate GNSS civil liability regime. This book examines the structure of such a regime in unprecedented depth and proposes a uniform governance structure composed of an institutional framework and a legal system for GNSS, with safety-of-life signals at its core |
