Extensive study will be made of the 1982 Law of the Sea Convention, the 1944 Convention on International Civil Aviation (Chicago Convention), the 1967 Outer Space Treaty, and other treaties and policies affecting the military uses of air, space, and sea domains. Finally, students will focus on some of the current issues in LOSAS, including Freedom of Navigation Operations, Piracy and Maritime Interception Operations, Air Defense Identification Zones, and Militarization and Weaponization of outer space.
