Major international law concept involving multiple international Conventions and Declarations, with implications for resource use and sustainability NimbusWeb ( talk) 19:04, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
A tag has been placed to say this article may need clenup but no guidance was given as to what issues are being raised. 200.66.91.130 ( talk) 22:25, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
Almost all of the pictures on this article are tenuously (at best) related to the topic. As far as I can tell, the rainbow, the butterfly nebula, and the English countryside are all included just because they're pretty pictures. They don't add information, and in my opinion, make the article seem preachy and un-encyclopedic. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.146.34.79 ( talk) 23:03, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
I'm no expert on international law, but is it really correct to say that the concept of common heritage of all mankind originates with the UN outer space treaty? According to this source: [1] the 1954 Hague Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property in Armed Conflict already speaks about a "cultural heritage of all mankind."
I am removing the sentence "Article 11 of the Moon Treaty declares the Moon and its natural resources the common heritage of mankind." from the caption of the earthrise photo near the top of this article.
My reasoning is that the Moon Treaty is a failed treaty that has not been signed by any nation that has actually sent sent payloads to the moon. The current caption implies incorrectly that the treaty is in force. Savlonn ( talk) 10:19, 7 September 2013 (UTC)
Are there any arguments against the principle of common heritage which go along the lines that the principle is favours mankind - i.e. that, however "neutral" it strives to be, it does not take into account that what is good for *humanity* might be bad for potential non-human life discovered elsewhere - I'm thinking in particular of stuff like ethics of terraforming.

What is the status of the UNESCO Declaration on the Responsibilities of the Present Generations Towards Future Generations?
I see that it was proclaimed on November 12, 1997, but what is the effect of that proclamation? Does this have to be ratified or otherwise accepted by member states? What countries have adopted this and what countries are still pending?
Thanks! -- Lbeaumont ( talk) 19:55, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
The moon treaty refers to celestial bodies as common heritage, but is a failed treaty. The other treaties settle on a (more vague, and probably less strong) 'province of all mankind'. Would it not be better to make a new page on province of mankind to prevent confusion? — Preceding unsigned comment added by BatistPaklons ( talk • contribs) 07:27, 12 September 2016 (UTC)
