MILAMOS is an ongoing project to develop a widely-accepted manual (the McGill Manual) that clarifies the fundamental lex lata (existing) rules applicable to military uses of outer space, by both States and non-State actors in times of peace, in times of rising tensions, and in times of armed conflict. The next meeting of MILAMOS will be in Beijing, China from October 30 to November 2nd, hosted and organized by the Beijing Institute of Technology.
