I was interested in checking whether any treaties exist to limit the use of space based lasers.. and surprised to see that there are no rules against using them.

I would be sincerely surprised if there were any treaties, since I don't think any space lasers have ever been used.

There's one in place for WMDs, and I don't think one was ever delivered from space.
