Cosmic Law of Principles
Cosmic Law of Principles (or Animal rationale ius) is a legal system that may consist of one or many systems of permanent principles of space activity formed by individuals within the voluntary society or community they have created and describing fair forms of relationships and behavior of individuals (Animal rationale) in Cosmos.
The peculiarity of this legal system is that the Outer Space Law of Principles is the exclusive right of individuals, and only they could be its authors (creators). That is, neither States, private companies, unions of States, nor their representatives could be the authors (creators) of the Outer Space Law of Principles since this right is not and cannot be another element of the Corpus juris gentium.
At the same time, any system of principles of space activities created within the framework of the Outer Space Law of Principles may only be based on voluntary compliance with such principles within a voluntary society (or community) that accepts these principles as a basis or was established based on such principles. That is to say, no one can ever force anyone to perform or oblige to comply with any system of permanent principles of space activities within the framework of the Outer Space Law of Principles.
Proponents of classical legal systems may call this system utopian because they do not believe in the ability of people to create equitable principles and voluntarily comply with them.
At the same time, due to the lack of security for the Outer Space Law of Principles (in the form of enforcement of the principles or establishment of punishment for their non-compliance), control of compliance with the principles of space activity can be carried out either by each individual or by a group of individuals or by the entire society (or community). Such control may also be exercised by permanent or temporary non-public bodies or organizations established within the relevant society (or community) that have the right to make decisions regarding compliance with the principles of space activities. At the same time, such decisions can be acts of a purely advisory and/or informational nature.
The prototype of such a legal system as the Outer Space Law of Principles can be oral or written agreements between two or more crew members of spaceships or space stations based on which they voluntarily regulate their relationships in space.
However, when it comes to such a permanent community, today it is unknown about the existence or attempts to create at least one system of permanent principles of space activity within the framework of the Outer Space Law of Principles. Most likely, this is the type of “law” that has yet to be introduced, and which over time would go beyond dogmatic models and become a new type of law for the entire Universe – “Universum jus”.
