Global Space Law Project
Technical Advisory Mission to Ghana
17-19 June 2025
From 17 to 19 June 2025, UNOOSA, with the support of the Government of France, delivered a Space Law Technical Advisory Mission tailored to the governmental authorities of Ghana. The three-day in-person legal advisory mission covered key aspects of the international space law framework including the principles of international space law, and the mechanisms by which it can be implemented into a national framework. The mission focused on the importance of drafting a national space law covering the seven key parts of a national space law including scope of application, safety, liability, transfer of ownership, etc. The mission also included a scenario-based exercise, allowing participants to fully engage with the materials discussed and provide a practical application of the subject matter. The Technical Advisory Mission was attended by more than 40 representatives from Ghana's government, industry, and academia including Ghana's Ministry of Environment Science and Technology and the Ghana Space Science and Technology Institute as well as representatives of the French Embassy in Ghana. Experts from France, Germany, Hungary, Kenya, Morocco, the Netherlands, the UK, and the ITU shared their own perspectives from their national frameworks and provided their own expertise ensuring that the mission provided a wide range of approaches and country-specific case studies.
