The DOCTRINE OF THE COMMON HERITAGE OF MANKIND is associated with:

1. The doctrine of COMMON HERITAGE OF MANKIND posits that certain spaces and resources are the patrimony of all humankind, to be managed for the benefit of all (including future generations). 2. UNCLOS 1982 Article 136 declares the 'Area' (the deep seabed and ocean floor beyond the limits of national jurisdiction) and its resources to be the COMMON HERITAGE OF MANKIND. 3. Part XI UNCLOS establishes the International Seabed Authority (ISA) to administer mining activities in the Area. 4. The Moon Treaty 1979 Article 11 declares the moon and its natural resources to be the COMMON HERITAGE OF MANKIND — though the Treaty has very few signatories (no spacefaring nation is a party). 5. Hence option B is correct. _Source: UN Charter 1945 / Vienna Convention on Law of Treaties 1969 / Geneva Conventions 1949 / ICJ Statute / UDHR ICCPR ICESCR — UNCLOS 1982, Article 136; Moon Treaty 1979, Article 11_
