Abstract

HAARP, an advanced ionospheric research technology initiated by the United States, has raised significant concerns within the international community due to its potential to manipulate climate, weather, and ionospheric emissions. This technology, initially funded by the Air Force, United States Navy, University of Alaska, and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), with design and construction by BAE Advanced Technologies (BAEAT) in Alaska, can create artificial disasters, including tornadoes, storms, rainfall, and even tsunamis. Surprisingly, international law lacks specific regulations governing the use of HAARP technology. The use of HAARP technology presents the possibility of being employed as a covert weapon for national defense and resistance efforts, warranting careful monitoring and oversight. Numerous experimental cases have already demonstrated the potential for disaster, as exemplified by incidents in Venezuela. While HAARP’s capabilities may prove beneficial for urgent weather and climate determinations in specific areas, the inherent dangers underscore the need for an international institution with the authority to supervise and regulate all HAARP projects and operations involving multiple components. Presently, the absence of clear regulations and the exclusive authority of the U.S. government to handle HAARP-related matters leave affected countries without recourse. This paper examines the challenges posed by HAARP technology from an international legal perspective and underscores the imperative for a comprehensive regulatory framework to address its complex implications.
