Abstract
The McGill Manual is the product of the McGill-led project to draft the Manual on International Law Applicable to Military Uses of Outer Space (MILAMOS Project). The MILAMOS Group of Experts arrived at consensus on key issues reflected in fifty-two Rules - which are set out in this McGill Manual: Volume I - covering a variety of international law subject matters particularly relevant to current and potential military uses of outer space. These are of critical importance to space activities conducted during peacetime and in time of tension that pose challenges to peace. This directed focus means that the scope of the McGill Manual does not extend to the law applicable during periods of armed conflict. Indeed, one of the purposes of the McGill Manual is to clearly set out the ways in which existing international law serves to restrain actions that might otherwise lead to the commencement of an armed conflict.
