PRZYSZŁOŚĆ MIĘDZYNARODOWYCH REGULACJI DOTYCZĄCYCH DÓBR WSPÓLNYCH LUDZKOŚCI

Abstract

The future of the common goods of the mankind and the international law that secures them, starts to be an important scientific problem. Treaties and informal regulations from the XX century does not seem to be enough in the XXI century. In my opinion, within a short period of time, such a problems as Arctic race for raw materials, Antartics or Outer Space, will become even more important, beacuse of rapid technical development and changes in the structure of the international relations. Not only territories, but also different fields of the environment are the subject of concerns, for example seabed, radioactive wastes, as well as different kinds of weapons, that can be dectructive, for example, chemical, biological or atomic. The level of strictness of the regulations differs - from declarative to high. In the article I point at the reasons of the differences. As it was suggested above, the present state of these problems has its origins in the past, and also this perspective of analysys is very important, starting at least from the interwar peroid, through The Cold War, the last decade od the XX century and the beginning of the XXI. Politics, economy, technical develepment, rusulted in the fact that some of the treaties and regulations were created too fast, becoming an example of fear of a next war, wishful thinking. However, from time to time, the rivalry had also postitive results, in my opinions there was no one positive or negative tendency, similary to the state of the international relations it was changing many times. In this article I analyse these problems and make conclusions that I find the most important. The main methods I use is comparison of the formal acts and informal regulations (or if they do not exist I try to explain that) with this what can be observed nowadays. The anylysis is supported by international statistics, reports, also by what was found out by the media. Key words : common goods, mankind, international law, international security, environment protection
