Foreword The concept of the International Astronautical Federation Colloquium on Space Law evolved from conversations between the undersigned during the course of a lecture tour of American Universities which we undertook in the Fall of 1957, and at subsequent meetings in Europe. Lectures on "The Law of Outer Space" were given at the Universities of Princeton, Detroit, Chicago, Michigan, North. western, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Montana, Montana State, Gonzaga, Washington, California (Berkeley), California (UCLA), Utah, Colorado, St. Louis, Washington (St. Louis), Harvard, Georgetown, American, Maryland, and so on; and in Europe by one or the other of your editors at the Universities of Paris, Stockholm, Copen. hagen, Berlin, Munich, Stuttgart, Madrid, Lisbon, Belgrade, Prague, Warsaw, Moscow, Leningrad, The Evangelical Academy at Loccum, and so on; and before numerous learned societies and many technical institutes and groups. The attendance at these lectures pointed up the profound interest of world· renowned teachers and practicing jurists, on the one hand; and thousands of students and members of the public, on the other hand, in the subject of the law of outer space. The intimate importance of space jurisprudence to thinking men, and especially experts in the social sciences, was demonstrated beyond question. Throughout the world there are many local committees and local centers of learning supporting space law studies and investigations-but there was no concerted international effort devoted to this subject as a special effort of mankind. We decided to call the First Colloquium on Space Law and it was obvious that one of the most appropriate centers in the world would be the Rolzaal, in The Hague, a birthplace of human rights and a city rich in the tradition of international arbitration and adjudication-and indeed the world center of such activities. As will be seen from this volume of Proceedings, the First Colloquium was well attended and many excellent papers were presented. During the course of the Colloquium the participants voted to establish a Permanent Legal Committee of the International Astronautical Federation-an action which was later ratified by the Council of the Federation. In cooperation with the Member Societies of the Internat
