Abstract

Nowadays we are confronting with the commercialization of space activities and prevalence of space tourism. The important point in these journeys is informed consent of tourists and acquiring the authorization needed.  The aim of this article is studying the measures for determination of the criminal Jurisdiction of states for investigation of crimes committed in space vehicle and on the International Space Station (ISS). This article will examine the international space documents (5 documents),- The 1988 Inter-Governmental Agreement (IGA), the memorandum of understanding concluded with NASA and the ISS Crew Code of Conduct (CCC). This article is about to investigate which states have criminal jurisdiction for prosecution of crimes committed in space by using the descriptive- analytical method of research. For prevention of impunity the codification of national regulation for granting appropriate visa will help space tourists to know which state has legal jurisdiction for in these journeys.
