Abstrakt

Niniejszy artykuł ma na celu zaprezentowanie najistotniejszych regulacji międzynarodowych dotyczących świadczenia usług o charakterze telekomunikacyjnym przez podmioty niepubliczne jednej lub większej ilości stron aktywnego konfliktu zbrojnego. Biorąc za przykład szeroko komentowany przypadek firmy Starlink, która rzekomo miała odmówić udostępnienia swojej sieci rządowi Ukraińskiemu, artykuł ten stara się przedstawić skrótowe studium tego przypadku z perspektywy prawa publicznego międzynarodowego, jak również regulacji międzynarodowych poświęconych wyłącznie kwestiom wykorzystania przestrzeni kosmicznej. Analiza ta w szczególności dotyczy reguł poświęconych przypisywalności państwu działań podmiotów prywatnych jak i pokojowemu wykorzystaniu przestrzeni kosmicznej.
