Iran Expanding Space Law Studies

With countries moving ahead with schemes to commercialize space and countries like the US mulling the idea of establishing a space military force, Iranian authorities are endeavoring to advance scientific research in the field and get a better grasp of international space law.
The Iranian Space Agency has signed a memorandum of understanding with the University of Tehran's Institute for Studies in Public Law last week, as per which specialists on space law are to be trained so as to increase Iran's role in international assemblies and secure national interests, the agency's website reported.
