外空法中"人类共同继承财产"概念探析

外层空间作为人类共同继承财产,既不是＂无主物＂、＂公有物＂,也不是＂共有物＂,人类对其并不全面享有所有权的占有、使用、收益、处分四项权能,人类对共同继承财产享有的权利近似于用益物权。＂人类共同继承财产＂不是国际习惯、国际法原则、强行法、政治性质或哲学性质的观点,它是尚在发展中的具有重要进步意义的一个国际法概念,是对外层空间法律地位的高度概括。

A Concept Study of 'Common Inherited Property of Mankind' in Outer Space Law

As common inherited property, outer space is neither ownerless property, public property nor common property; mankind does not have ownership of possession, usage, benefit and punishment. The right of mankind to common inherited property resembles the usufruct right. ‘Common Inherited Property of Mankind’is not international practice, international law principle, binding law, political character or philosophy character, but an International Law concept which is still under development and has an important progress meaning, and it is a succinct generalization to the legal position of Outer Space Law.
