Sharei & Filijović: Do We Need a UN Parliament to Regulate Space Mining? | Chai on the Moon |

Mining on the Moon is on the horizon. But who decides who can mine and where? How do we know if there is too much mining and how do we prioritize competing interests on the Moon? In this episode of Chai on the Moon, we have a conversation with Dr. S. M. Sharei and Dr. Marko Filijović, who have a proposed a UN parliament to decide on these issues. They are both affiliated with the Center for UN Constitutional Research (CUNCR) [cuncr.org/]
