Ricerc@Sapienza

My research is focused on international law in general and international space law in particular. Building upon the progress made at multilateral level in the context of security in the use of ICTs at General Assembly First Committee, the research integrates different initiatives in COPUOS and the Conference on Disarmament relating space security, safety and sustainability. Drawing differences and similarities, it examines whether the current legal framework is applicable to space cybersecurity, and whether it would be feasible to fill the gaps with a normative instrument. In such endeavour, particular attention is drawn to State practice, including national statements at the United Nations.
