Abstract
In a state where there are no strong rules or laws that guides the
conduct of people, it might turn out to be bloody which in effect can enter
into the state of anarchy. In international relations theory, the concept of
anarchy is the idea that the world lacks any supreme authority or sovereignty.
In an anarchic state, there is no hierarchically superior, coercive power that
can resolve disputes, enforce law, or order the system of international
politics. In this same regard, if the outer space is devoid of such superior
and strong authority and policy to enforce laws, combats, the use of powerful
weapons such as the antisatellite weapons and power struggle and the increase
in space debris become inevitable regardless of the existing treaty or
agreement which is less difficult to violate. There are many voids in space
law, and methods to effectively govern different aspects of space activities
are not directly addressed in most national and international regulations.
Therefore, this article suggests that the effectiveness, the sustainability of
the exploration of the outer space will need a strong entity or cooperation
like a leviathan to ensure the enforcement and enactments of effective policies
of the International space law in the outer space.
