Inherent Limitation Absence <strong>of</strong> legal definition regarding <strong>the</strong> status <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> outer space• Many authors have stated <strong>the</strong> inadequateness <strong>of</strong> Roman law concept ininternational law. For example,‣ The idea that <strong>the</strong> outer space cannot be appropriated by its nature maybe relevant with <strong>the</strong> principle <strong>of</strong> freedom <strong>of</strong> space flight. But, <strong>the</strong>freedom may be related to both concepts such as res communis andres nullius. The freedom is not to be given automatically andexclusively by <strong>the</strong> status <strong>of</strong> res communis.‣ Such duality shows that it is inexact to identify <strong>the</strong> limitedsovereignty with <strong>the</strong> conception <strong>of</strong> res communis.‣ The freedom is not based upon <strong>the</strong> <strong>the</strong>oretical reasoning, upon <strong>the</strong>outer space, using <strong>the</strong> same concept and criteria applied to “res” inroman civil law concept. But it is based upon <strong>the</strong> real internationalrelations.(Marco Marc<strong>of</strong>f, 1984)
