National appropriation?
1) Does "national appropriation" mean "state funding"?
2) Does "by claims of sovereignty, means of use or occupation by any other means" mean "by claims of sovereignty, by means of use or by occupation by any other means"?
Background info:
This principle can be found back in Article II of the 1967 Outer Space Treaty which clearly forbids "national appropriation by claims of sovereignty, means of use or occupation by any other means". It has been widely accepted: no one complains the various moon landings or satellites in space have infringed their sovereignty.
2) Does "by claims of sovereignty, means of use or occupation by any other means" mean "by claims of sovereignty, by means of use or by occupation by any other means"?
