المنطقة الدولیة وفق الجزء 11 من اتفاقیة الأمم المتحدة لقانون البحار 1982

Abstract

"The main of this article was to critically examine the common heritage of mankind in the law of the sea. The preceding examination has revealed several issues that need further clarification. The common heritage is in most potent from in its law of the sea context and thus it an important area to consider for future development. While there are doubts about the potential of the concept of common heritage of mankind, it is believed that the law of the sea is currently the only regime where it has any practical effect. An additional feature supporting the view that the common heritage of mankind is at its strongest in the law of the sea is that fact that an international organisation has been established to administer the seabed. As noted above, it has clearly defined power structure as well as being endowed with a legal personality. Accordingly, it can be argued that there is some potential for a viable and enforceable concept of common heritage of mankind, at least in law of the sea context."
