Charlie Bennett is a Jurist and LLM from the Netherlands. He's been a student of the space policies and laws of the European Union, as well as the particular question of what is dual use. We discuss EU policy. We discuss the role and authority of the EU versus member nations, NATO, the UN, etc. Dual use is generally the problem of what might be both peaceful use of space, while having the capability of becoming a weapon of war. Yes, we visist Jeffzikistan at times. Remember, Reagan and SDI (star wars)? The Russians may be engaging in that.
