Summary: Since its beginnings, the space race has been a unique activity because of the technological advances that has brought. However, it has also increased risks for humanity and the environment. This made necessary the creation of a special international regulation. By general rule, this regulation is considered liable in all means by the States that practice or promote space activities from their own territory or installations.

This article inquires on the guarantee philosophy behind this special regulation, which promotes that victims receive reparation of caused damages efficiently.
