The principle of Common Heritage of Mankind (CHM) is a fundamental principle for the international community to explore and exploit deep seabed mineral resources in areas beyond national jurisdiction. Many provisions in Part XI of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea reflect this principle. As the international institution to implement the principle of CHM, the International Seabed Authority has the dual mandate of managing deep seabed resources and marine environmental protection. However, in the process of implementing the principle of Common Heritage of Mankind, there is a misalignment between reality and ideal as envisioned by the Convention. This article reflects on the relevant norms and practices of the International Seabed Authority (ISA) in implementing the CHM principle and presents a critical assessment of the development of the sharing mechanism through the ISA, focusing on benefit sharing and technology sharing. This article also proposes that information sharing and transparency is a procedure-reinforcing mechanism to promote benefit sharing and is especially important to the decision-making process of the ISA, which includes the promulgation of the rules, regulations and the approval of the plans of work submitted by the applicants. These decisions have practical significance and direct impacts on the development of the sharing mechanism for deep seabed resources.

从利益分享制度的角度对国际海底管理局实施人类共同遗产原则的批判性评估

人类共同遗产原则是国际社会在国家管辖范围以外区域勘探、开采深海海底矿产资源的基本原则。《联合国海洋法公约》第十一部分的许多条款都体现了这一原则。作为贯彻CHM原则的国际机构,国际海底管理局肩负着管理深海海底资源和海洋环境保护的双重使命。然而,在落实人类共同遗产原则的过程中,现实与公约所设想的理想存在脱节。本文反思了国际海底管理局(ISA)在实施CHM原则方面的相关规范和实践,并对ISA共享机制的发展进行了批判性评估,重点是利益共享和技术共享。本文还提出,信息共享和透明度是促进利益共享的程序强化机制,对 ISA 的决策过程尤为重要,包括规则、条例的颁布和工作计划的批准申请人提交的。这些决定对深海海底资源共享机制的发展具有现实意义和直接影响。本文还提出,信息共享和透明度是促进利益共享的程序强化机制,对 ISA 的决策过程尤为重要,包括规则、条例的颁布和工作计划的批准申请人提交的。这些决定对深海海底资源共享机制的发展具有现实意义和直接影响。本文还提出,信息共享和透明度是促进利益共享的程序强化机制,对 ISA 的决策过程尤为重要,包括规则、条例的颁布和工作计划的批准申请人提交的。这些决定对深海海底资源共享机制的发展具有现实意义和直接影响。
