Article 1 of the Declaration on the Human Genome and Human Rights of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) stipulates: “The human genome underlies the fundamental unity of all members of the human family, as well as the recognition of their inherent dignity and diversity. In a symbolic sense, it is the heritage of humanity.” The “common heritage of mankind” (CHM) principle is the legal notion that all people have an equal proprietary interest in the natural world.
