Celestial Conflicts, Earthly Resolutions: Space Arbitration from a Gulf Perspective

As commercial space activity accelerates—from satellite launches and in-orbit services to lunar exploration—the legal and regulatory challenges surrounding space activities are rapidly evolving. We are pleased to invite you to a timely and forward-looking panel discussion examining the emerging frontier of space arbitration, viewed through a Gulf and Middle East lens.

Set against the backdrop of The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s expanding aerospace ambitions and progressive legal ecosystem, this session will explore how arbitration frameworks can adapt to resolve disputes arising beyond Earth’s atmosphere. The discussion will consider jurisdictional challenges, contractual and regulatory complexities, and the Middle East’s growing potential to serve as a hub for resolving space-related disputes.
