Space Militarization- A Peace Hoax

    States' proficiency to promulgate themselves as the hegemon in this contemporary world had encouraged them to expand their military horizon beyond land, air, and water, to maintain deterrence and dominance. The strategic stability order has been compromised by the consistent accumulation of armed satellites, leading towards space weaponization to secure their national sovereignty and integrity. The security trilemma in South Asia surely catered to the challenge with high risks evolving with it, giving rise to multipolarity in this political arena. The intensified commercial space utilization was soon maligned by the integration of nuclear-based satellites which called for the condemnation of the international community against proliferation, introducing major bilateral and multilateral agreements and treaties. The manoeuvring of international law according to the major space-faring states had demolished its purpose to serve legally. The limitations in international laws have been found outdated and need modifications according to the advanced deployments of space arms.
