The Utilization of GSO by Indonesia as a Subjacent State Based on Space Treaty 1967

GSO is a ring-shaped orbit located at six earth radians above the equator, and is the most strategic place to place satellites because they are in a fixed position in space against the earth. The existence of the principle of first come, first served makes injustice in the use of GSO. This makes the countries where positions are under the GSO region or under the state demand for justice for the use of GSO which must be in fair, equitable and rational for the common good. Issues that will be discussed in the writing of this law are: (1) Indonesia's position as a nation under the International Law, (2) the use of GSO by Indonesia as a country under the 1967 Space Treaty. The research uses a normative juridical approach with descriptive analytical research specifications. The source of the data is secondary data collecting from literature study. The method of data analysis is qualitative analysis. The results of research is that Indonesian territory may be affected by celestial bodies that can threaten the safety of Indonesian citizens. By ratifying the 1972 Liability Convention, Indonesia as an underdeveloped country has the right to claim damages to the launching country when their satellite or space object falls onto Indonesian territory, and incur losses.
