Abstract

Mankind's effort to not extend the scope of militarism to outer space on one hand and the fear of great powers from the superiority of competitors in space activities on the other hand caused the necessity of peaceful use of space to be repeated in almost all existing instruments about the activities of states in outer space, which has turned this necessity into a binding rule.  The necessity of using this principle in media communication is even greater due to the numerous examples of using the media to promote war and the like. In addition, the use of media is closely related to human rights and states sovereignty. The question is whether the principle of peaceful use of space in media communication is valid and enforceable. The hypothesis that we seek to prove is the principle of the necessity of peaceful use of space in media communication to play the role of a filter in not turning the media into a means of harming the rights of individuals or the sovereignty of states.
