After the conclusion of the Moon Agreement, It was commonly believed that the chances for the adoption of a hard-law document in the Law of Space re next to none. Thus, States began to embrace guidelines, codes of conduct and even national legislations regarding space in order to fill this normative void. Another manifestation of this shift is the adoption of space-related Resolutions in the United Nations. A prime example of such documents, adopted by the UN's General Assembly, is the 1992 Resolution on Principles Relevant to the Use of Nuclear Power Source in Outer Space. The article at hand endeavors to analyze the said normative shift and peruses the aforementioned resolution as a case-study.
