Study Notes
Common Heritage of Humanity
- Arvid Pardo, the Maltese delegate, proposed an international regime to govern the deep seabed in 1968.
- The deep seabed was declared the common heritage of humanity (CHH) in 1970.
- The CHH concept is revolutionary because it codified a common property rights concept that transcends national boundaries.
- It recognizes humanity as a whole, not just individual countries.
- The concept arose from two observations: nations wanted to have equitable access to valuable resources, and there was a technological divide.
- The CHH concept includes five main elements: no appropriation of common heritage space, collective management, shared benefits, peaceful use, and protection for future generations.
- The International Seabed Authority (ISA) was created to manage deep seabed mining.
- The CHH concept has been debated in various disciplines and is recognized in international law, including the 1982 Law of the Sea Convention.
Challenges and Alternatives
- The CHH concept is under stress due to environmental pressures.
- Some international environmental treaties have avoided CHH terminology.
- Some scholars argue for a return to common property regulation as a human and environmental right.
- Another approach is to incorporate CHH concepts into sustainable development principles.
- Sustainable development aims for economic and social development, inter- and intra-generational equity, and environmental conservation.
- Some scholars argue that although sustainable development and CHH have some ambiguities, sustainable development can help bring the CHH concept into the 21st century.
