Space Liability Convention

The Space Liability Convention is an international agreement to make sure countries, companies and people take responsibility if something bad happens in space. It means if something bad happens in space, like if a piece of space junk hurts or damages something, the country or company or person responsible for it must fix the problem. This agreement also helps to keep space safe and free of accidents, like crashes between satellites, since people and companies know they will be held responsible if something bad happens.
