Golden Dome test reveals who wants binding space rules

Original: Golden Dome: A cheap test of who wants binding rules in space

The Lowy Institute argues that the US Golden Dome missile defence project has become a low-cost way of testing which countries genuinely support binding rules for activities in space. By pressing ahead with space-based defence architecture, Washington forces other states to show whether their support for space governance is principled or selective, exposing gaps between rhetoric and commitments on weaponising orbit.

Why now: The US Golden Dome missile defence plan raises fresh concerns about the militarisation of space and the future of international space governance.
