That would make it so easy that even a monkey can do it .

It would have to go into international security because some of the debris could have some potentially dangerous materials which on impact it would make a catastrophic explosion.

This seems to be a case of micromanagement- if you're interested in space affairs, write something about demilitarization of orbit or some such thing.

Mainly, by simply moving space debris from low orbit to an arbitrary but higher Graveyard Orbit, does this not just create a second barrier to deal with when space exploration extends farther from the planet?
The Dominion of Belriel suggests an alternative: guide the expended craft into a collision course with the nearest star. Not only would doing so remove the dangerous debris from our orbit but it would incinerate the debris altogether, ensuring that it would not become a future problem.
Is this feasible?

I would hardly say that striking one object moving at thousands of miles per hour from another object moving at thousands of miles per hour is an easy task.

, which may just as well define it as all of the universe outside of low orbit, it would follow that such space debris would accumulate. Even if only some of this space debris collects close to the planet (the near side of significantly far), eventually it would be dangerous for space craft to pass through this zone.an orbit significantly above Low Planetary Orbit

In that case, I concede my star-incineration solution as a all-nation fix. I believe it would still be plausible for those nations that orbit a central star or stars, however.
