Adopted in October 2020, the Artemis Accords are a set of 13 provisions establishing a principled framework for the sustainable human exploration of the Moon and the other celestial bodies, including the exploitation of their natural resources. This article examines the extent to which the Artemis Accords comply with international law and international standards. It argues that, while rooted on the provisions of the Outer Space Treaty, the Artemis Accords introduce a significant innovation in international space law by replacing the anticipatory approach to the regulation of outer space activities with the staged principle of adaptive governance.

《阿尔忒弥斯协定》：国际空间法的演变还是革命？

《阿尔忒弥斯协定》于 2020 年 10 月通过，共有 13 条条款，为人类可持续探索月球和其他天体（包括开发其自然资源）建立了原则框架。本文探讨了《阿尔忒弥斯协定》在多大程度上符合国际法和国际标准。它认为，《阿耳忒弥斯协定》虽然植根于《外层空间条约》的规定，但通过用适应性治理的阶段性原则取代了对外层空间活动监管的预期方法，在国际空间法中引入了重大创新。
