C|M|LAW Associate Dean Mark J. Sundahl has just published The Cape Town Convention: Its Application to Space Assets and Relation to the Law of Outer Space.   In the book, Dean Sundahl examines the recently adopted UNIDROIT Convention on International Interests in Mobile Equipment and its Space Assets Protocol which together create a new international regime of secured finance applicable to satellites, launch vehicles, and other types of space equipment.  In addition to explaining the operation of the convention and protocol, the book explores the relationship between these new instruments and the existing body of space law founded on the five UN treaties that were adopted in the 1960s and 1970s.
