About
States are exhibiting increasingly keen interest in augmenting investments in developing their capabilities in the air as well as space. Non-State actors, be it private investors or terrorists, are no exceptions to this emerging trend. It is becoming evidently clear that supremacy in air and space is set to define international relations in the years to come.
Recognizing the potential of these developments, the GNLU Centre for Public International Law has conceived the GNLU Air and Space Law Academy (GASLA) as a platform for engaging in discourse on contemporary legal issues in these fields.
The first edition of GASLA was successfully conducted between 14 and 23 September 2016, in collaboration with the Institute of Air and Space Law, University of Cologne and the Forum for Integrated National Security, India.
The second edition of GASLAwas successfully conducted between 16 and 22 September 2017 with the kind support of Airports Authority of India (AAI), Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) and the Indian Air Force (IAF).
Encouraged by their success, the GNLU Centre for Public International Law is organizing the 3 Edition of GASLA from 27 August to 2nd September 2018.
