In the past, crop irrigation requirements did not consider limitations of the available water supplies. Improving water productivity is urgently needed in water-scarce dry areas. To minimize input cost and environmental damage, farmers will likely produce maize with less irrigation water in the future.

As more nations become critically reliant on space systems, questions of maintaining safety and strategic stability in outer space have come to the fore. Transparency and Confidence-Building Measures (TCBMs) for outer space activities have an important role to play in providing clarity about the intentions of States and in articulating norms of behaviour in outer space. TCBMs take several forms. They may be the elaboration of basic principles related to the exploration and use of outer space, political measures related to establishing norms of conduct, information-sharing activities to improve the transparency of outer space activities, operational practices which demonstrate a commitment to mutual cooperation in outer space, or consultative mechanisms. We present an analytical framework for evaluating potential TCBMs and illustrate the application of this framework to examples of potential operational, regulatory, treaty-based and declaratory TCBMs.

The fundamental principles laid down in the Treaty continue to constitute the key pillars of the international legal regime of space activities. Some these principles have acquired the status of customary international law, and, in certain cases, even of peremptory norms of international law. Furthermore, Article VI of the 1967 Treaty, following which States bear international responsibility for all their national activities in outer space, hether carried on by governmental agencies or by private entities, continues to be the Cornerstone of the international legal regime of outer space. However, the OST appears n some ways ageing, because it does not contain provisions for regulating the new space applications. This has led some States to adopt national legislation that unilaterally interprets the scope of certain obligations of the OST, mainly in the field of private exploitation of natural resources of celestial bodies. This trend could lead to a real risk of overlapping claims. Thus, the UN is engaged in negotiations for the adoption of non-legally binding guidelines for the long-term sustainability of space activities. In this line, the OST continues to indicate, fifty years after its conclusion, that international Cooperation is the most appropriate instrument for ensuring the future of space activities whithin a framework of legal certainty and benefit for the wholehumanity

In the context of space security, several texts are being prepared to deal with this issue with different perspectives. Beyond the sole diplomatic aspect of these different proposals, it is important to make sure that they can be efficient in practice. In this respect, the Eu initiated project of an international code of conduct may prove to be a first important so called “transparency and confidence building measure” in space.

Quadri was drilled by themes such as "cosmic" law", which he developed in particular with reference to the power of government, territorial sovereignty and its limits, the analogy between maritime and aerial navigation on the one side and cosmic navigation on the other. With regard to the freedoms in outer space, Quadri's attention was concentrated on the analogy, that he retained erroneous, between air and cosmic navigation. The last part of Quadri's contribution to the emerging doctrine on outer space law in the late nineteen-fifties concerned the cosmic freedom of States and its limit, together with a reflection on the problem of cosmic peace. Apart from the general picture, Quadri addressed also specific issues regarding the international legal regime of space objects and the responsibility for damage caused by them. Keywords: aerial navigation; cosmic law; cosmic peace; outer space law; Rolando Quadri ; space objects

Esso dimostra come tale competenza non possa essere qualificata come concorrente, ma vada invece consoderata come una competenza parallela a quella degli Sati membri in pari materia. Sono delineate le oartciolarità giuridica di questo tipo d competeza accanto a quelle esclusive, condivise e di sostegno

La loro ratio infatti è principlaemnte focalizzata sul trattamento dell'individuio e quindi rispèonde in primo luogo alla dimensione dell'accoglimento dello straniero in termini di diritti umani. Tuttavia, nuove regole si impongono che sappiano cociliare I valori universali della dignità umana con le esigenze della sicurezza. L’integrazione dello straniero, che non deve corrispondere a un’assimilazione può, se deve, avere due esiti: il rientro dello straniero nel suo paese di origine o la sua immissione nella comunità ospitante mediante la cittadinanza. Entrambi i percorsi riportano all’esigenza di tutelare la dignità dello straniero come individuo e, pertanto, devono corrispondere alle esigenze e alle aspirazioni di ciascuno
