Human Rights and Space Law

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Space in Support of Human Rights

Abstract

This chapter starts by discussing human rights in general. Information will include the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Charter of the United Nations but also an analysis of the contributions of technology to supporting human rights. Further, the relationship of Space Law to Human Rights is discussed as well as the UN Principles on Remote Sensing and the importance of distinguishing between raw data and processed data is presented. An overview of the challenges for considering satellite data as evidence in courts, including questions about the authenticity of processed data is provided. The lack of consistency and standardization in processing the data is discussed and the requirement for a competent authority, international organization or national agency, with certification power is underlined. Furthermore, the capacity of satellite images to improve probatory procedures in the judicial system and prove violations of human rights and international humanitarian law is analysed. Finally, this chapter will discuss the challenges that pertain to the interpretation of satellite images necessary for the prosecution of criminals.

    Until now, UAVs have been employed predominantly by States, mainly for security purposes, however, UAV technology is becoming increasingly accessible to private undertakings and even individuals. UAVs are able to collect data much more efficiently than either satellites or manned aircraft ever could. Nevertheless, they (in particular micro drones) represent a real danger for privacy rights as they can collect high-resolution images and videos, telephone conversations, and intercept electronic communications and any other wave or signal depending on the payload installed on-board. They can also recognize faces, or even detect ‘abnormal behavior’ and identify human targets. Finally, future solar-power drones will also be able to ‘stay in the air forever’ becoming a continuous surveillance tool in the hand of public authorities. This opens a quite dangerous scenario whereby individuals must now guard themselves from intrusions by other individuals. Consequently, on many occasions the European Commission has expressed its concern about the proliferation of surveillance tools, especially in regard to UAVs.

    Pursuant to Article VI of the Treaty on Principles Governing the Activities of States in the Exploration and Use of Outer Space, including the Moon and Other Celestial Bodies (Outer Space Treaty), activities of private U.S. entities in outer space require the “authorization and continuing supervision” of the United States Government. The Land Remote Sensing Policy Act of 1992, codified at 51 U.S.C. 60101 et seq. (ACT), authorizes the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary) to fulfill this responsibility for operators of private sensing space systems, by authorizing the Secretary to issue and enforce licenses for the operation of such systems. The Secretary’s authority under the Act is currently delegated to the NOAA Assistant Administrator for Satellite and Information Services.

    Common law and civil law jurisdictions differ as to the admission of evidence. Broadly, civil law countries have a more inclusive approach, while common law jurisdictions may take a more exclusionary approach. This is to some extent due to the role of the judge in the respective systems. In the inquisitorial model associated with civil law systems, judges have a major role in uncovering the facts. This tendency is exemplified by the role of the juge d’instruction in France, who examines witnesses before pronouncing whether or not the evidential basis exists for a case to go to trial. The judge has wide discretion to admit or reject evidence, and concentrates more on the relevance of evidence than on rules of admissibility. By contrast, the common law applies stricter rules on admissibility. In the adversarial model associated with common law systems, advocates for the parties take the lead in presenting and testing evidence. The role of the judge is more limited than in civil law jurisdictions. Rules of evidence have evolved within common law systems to ensure that only relevant and probative evidence is admitted.
