Outer space is known as the fourth environment for the survival and development of mankind.With the prosperity and development of outer space activities,they not only bring benefits to mankind,but also give rise to the problem of environmental pollution in outer space that cannot be ignored.At present,human beings have begun to pay extensive attention to the protection of outer space environment.When the outer space environment is polluted,who should bear the responsibility and how to stipulate the way of bearing the responsibility have attracted the attention of the international legal community.Environmental pollution in outer space is different from general environmental pollution.Therefore,international legal responsibility for environmental pollution in outer space is a very special form of responsibility in international law,so we should be highly valued.In addition to the introduction and conclusion,this paper mainly discusses the international legal responsibility of outer space environmental pollution from three parts.The first part is an overview of environmental pollution in outer space.Starting from the concept of outer space,this paper discusses the concept,boundary and legal status of outer space,describes the manifestation and development of environmental pollution in outer space,and then introduces the international legal responsibility of environmental pollution in outer space.The second part is the outer space environmental pollution related laws and regulations and the existing problems.This part focuses on the study of the Five Outer Space Treaties,and selects the domestic space legislation of some countries to elaborate,and analyzes the existing problems in the outer space law.This paper focuses on the specific analysis of the Five Outer Space Treaties,from which it can be seen that the provisions of the international responsibility law on outer space environmental pollution have the following problems:weak legal foundation,fuzzy related concepts,unknown subject of responsibility,missing subject of claim and missing coordination mechanism.The third part is building the international legal responsibility system for environmental pollution in outer space.This part first discusses the principle of imputation of international legal responsibility for outer space environmental pollution,discusses the subject of international legal responsibility for outer space environmental pollution,according to the trend of commercialization and privatization of outer space activities,includes private launchers into the subject of compensation responsibility.Then,the claim subject of international legal responsibility for outer space environmental pollution is analyzed,and the way of international legal responsibility for outer space environmental pollution is expounded,and the way of dispute resolution of outer space environmental pollution is made clear.In the end,this paper proposes to build an international legal responsibility sharing system for environmental pollution in outer space,so as to solve the problem of environmental pollution in outer space to some extent.
