EDITORIAL: ¿JAPON DEBATE ARTICULO 9? Por IA Gémini de Google & Hans Alejandro Gamboa Rengifo de los Brigadistas Jurídicos de Colombia Latinoamérica
UK-JAPAN RENKEI Early Career Researcher Collaboration Lab
In recent years, “space” has gained renewed importance as a frontier of human activity, extending beyond outer space to include ocean space and cyberspace. Advances in satellite and rocket technology have made outer space essential for areas such as communications, navigation, and disaster monitoring, while also creating challenges including orbital congestion, safety, and liability. Similarly, developments in marine science and technology have opened access to deep-sea resources, raising urgent questions about environmental protection and ocean governance. Cyberspace, a defining domain of the twenty-first century, offers vast opportunities but also prompts global debate over how it should be governed across borders.
Against this backdrop, the RENKEI Collaboration Lab 2026 will explore the opportunities and responsibilities associated with these three “spaces”. Through a series of workshops, participants will examine current developments and consider the future direction of these domains in the century ahead.
Workshop 1: Marine Studies
“How do we see the Ocean space through different lenses?”
Session overview: The purpose of this session is to better understand where the perceptions of ocean space converge or diverge among biologists, ecologists, coastal/ocean modelers, and other research communities. The ocean is a dynamic and largely unexplored environment that is highly interconnected to many systems. This session brings together biologists, ecologists, ocean and coastal modelers, and other research communities to explore how different disciplines perceive and conceptualize ocean space. How can we integrate these diverse perspectives into a unified understanding of the ocean? Through shared discussions, we aim to uncover where these perceptions between various researchers converge or diverge and how to obtain a comprehensive insight of the changing ocean.

Workshop 2: International Law
“Human Utilization of New Spaces – Beyond the Boundaries of National Jurisdiction”
This session examines the legal evolution and structural limitations of governing realms beyond national sovereignty: outer space, areas beyond national jurisdiction in the oceans (the high seas and the deep seabed), and cyberspace. While often termed “global commons,” these domains operate under diverse norms—from traditional freedoms and the common heritage principle to emerging rules on digital sovereignty—challenging unified regulation. The inquiry focuses on inherent constraints of rules reflected in instruments like the UN treaties on outer space, the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), and the UN Group of Governmental Experts (GGE) and Open-ended Working Group (OEWG) on cyberspace. It addresses the regulation of state and non-state actors, evaluating challenges like attributing legal responsibility and ensuring compliance where boundaries are blurred. The session aims to clarify structural gaps and balance state interests with the collective preservation of these vital spaces.
Workshop 3: Aerospace
“Sustainable and Scalable Space Development and Utilization”
Session overview: The goal of this session is to define a cross-disciplinary roadmap for advancing sustainable space activities through next-generation technologies, including On-Orbit Servicing (OOS). As global space activities expand through public–private partnerships, orbital environments are becoming increasingly congested and complex. Achieving long-term sustainability while advancing the space economy requires transformative innovation. OOS technologies have been attracting increasing global attention in recent years as a key enabler of safe, efficient, and scalable space operations. The session highlights the technical advancement of compact, high-performance servicing platforms with advanced autonomy and mobility, focusing on key spacecraft technologies such as satellite systems, space robotics, propulsion, space communications. These systems enable refuelling, repair, replacement, assembly, and in-space manufacturing—unlocking new operational models in Earth orbit and beyond. The session also explores the integration of space life sciences, materials science, and artificial intelligence to expand practical space utilization. Through collaboration among academia, industry, startups, and public institutions, the session presents a vision for accelerating deployment, fostering industrial co-creation, and building a sustainable space ecosystem." link
La luna patrimonio común de la humanidad según tratado del espacio Ultraterrestre de 1967 Constitución del derecho espacial moderno.
La nueva carrera espacial entre Estados Unidos, China y otras potencias ha vuelto a plantear la pregunta de a quién pertenece realmente la Luna. Aunque hay muchos que creen que ninguna nación podría reclamar como suya el satélite terrestre, la legislación espacial internacional es mucho más compleja de lo que parece.
El Tratado del Espacio Exterior
La base legal que regula actualmente la propiedad de la Luna es el Tratado sobre el Espacio Ultraterrestre firmado en 1967 y es considerado como la constitución del derecho espacial moderno. El acuerdo fue impulsado durante la Guerra Fría por Estados Unidos, la Unión Soviética y Reino Unido para evitar tener conflictos territoriales fuera de la Tierra.
Este tratado establece claramente que ningún Estado puede apropiarse de la Luna ni de otros cuerpos celestes, mediante soberanía, ocupación o cualquier otro método. Es decir, ningún país puede declarar oficialmente que la Luna le pertenece.
Esta norma impidió a Estados Unidos reclamar la Luna tras las misiones de Apolo o que la Unión Soviética hiciera lo mismo con sus programas espaciales. Actualmente, más de 110 países forman parte del tratado internacional.

La Luna es considerada patrimonio común de la humanidad. El problema principal aparece cuando se habla de la explotación económica de los recursos naturales. En 1979 se firmó el llamado Acuerdo de la Luna, que es un tratado que intentó regular la explotación tanto minera como científica del satélite. El documento defendía que los recursos lunares debían beneficiar a toda la humanidad y no solo a unos pocos países o empresas privadas pese a la negatividad de las superpotencias.
Estados Unidos y China
Estados Unidos ha llevado a cabo el programa Artemis junto a la NASA y varios aliados internacionales con el objetivo de poder regresar a la Luna y establecer una presencia permanente en los próximos años.
China, por su parte, se encuentra desarrollando su propio programa lunar con planes para construir una estación científica internacional junto a Rusia. Pekín pretende enviar astronautas a la superficie lunar antes de 2030. link

Introduction
Space weather is an inherently international matter. Solar and magnetic storms affect large regions of the Earth simultaneously and equatorial ionospheric disturbances occur routinely around the world. It is therefore appropriate for the United Nations to promote improvements in space weather modelling and forecasting for the benefit of all nations.
The International Space Weather Initiative (ISWI) was launched in 2009 and has developed research capacities in the scientific disciplines of Sun-Earth relations and space weather in many countries around the world. ISWI has established a platform that takes a bottom-up approach to produce space weather-literate communities to be able to work together as a network to share ideas, information and data and to develop joint projects.
Through this collaborative framework, ISWI has enabled scientists to use global navigation satellite system data in studies on space weather. These data have brought together scientists from various disciplines (such as seismology, the ionospheric physics and atmospheric science to work in the field of space weather. By building research capacity, ISWI has fostered space weather-literate communities capable of applying the fundamental physics of Sun-Earth relations to societal needs, providing valuable input for policymakers.
All achievements of international cooperation and coordination for ISWI, including instrumentation, data analysis, modelling, education, training, and public outreach, are made available through the ISWI Newsletter and the ISWI Website ( https://www.iswi-secretariat.org/).
The theme of the workshop, " AI-Enabled Space Weather for Global Cooperation and Capacity Building ", highlights the growing role of artificial intelligence (AI) and its applications in improving space weather activities including observation, modelling, operation, and forecasting. Building on ISWI's longstanding efforts in deploying instruments and developing research capacities in developing countries, the workshop will provide a platform for scientists, operational service providers, and policymakers to exchange knowledge on AI-based techniques, advanced data analysis, and their integration with existing space weather networks established through ISWI. It is also expected that the workshop will strengthen international cooperation, promote the sharing of data and best practices, and contribute to enhancing global capabilities in space weather researches and related services.
The United Nations/Republic of Korea Workshop on the International Space Weather Initiative: AI-Enabled Space Weather for Global Cooperation and Capacity Building will be held in Seoul, from 7 to 11 September 2026. This workshop is being co-organized by the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) and the Korea Space Weather Centre (KSWC) of the Korea AeroSpace Administration.
The workshop is also supported by the International Committee on Global Navigation Satellite Systems (ICG), the Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute (KASI), the Korean Space Science Society (KSSS), the Korean Institute of Electromagnetic Engineering and Science (KIEES), the Kyung Hee University (KHU), the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), the ChungBuk National University (CBNU), the Chungnam National University (CNU), the Seoul Metropolitan Government (SMG), the Seoul Tourism Organization (STO), and the Committee on Space Research (COSPAR).
Objectives and expected outcomes
The main objectives of this workshop are to continue efforts in the deployment of instruments in developing countries and advancing the interpretation of space weather data; to focus on new research results and findings; and to strengthen international coordination and cooperation on space weather products and services.
