Posted by - VSMCASL was established in 2019 to engage in various ways in shaping the emerging discourse in the field of Air and Space Law. The vision of the Centre is to engage in improving the existing legal and policy framework for the facilitation and regulation of safe, secure, affordable and sustainable aviation and to contribute to the shaping of the legal foundation for the future of humanity that lies in space.
- States are exhibiting an increasingly keen interest in augmenting investments in developing their capabilities and competencies in the realm of both air and space activities. Non-State actors, including private investors, are no exceptions to this emerging trend. It is becoming evident that a nation’s supremacy in air and space will define international relations in the years to come. Recognizing this potential, the Centre organizes GNLU Air and Space Law Academy as a platform for engaging in discourse on contemporary legal issues in the field of air and space.
- The first edition of GASLA was successfully conducted by GNLU in 2016, in collaboration with the Institute of Air and Space Law, the University of Cologne and the Forum for Integrated National Security. Encouraged by the overwhelming success of the five editions, the V. S. Mani Centre for Air and Space Law is pleased to present before you the 7th Edition of GNLU Air and Space Law Academy 2022.
