(The Common Heritage of Mankind) is a legal "term of art" defined in the proposed United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, 1982. It is applicable to space law because versions of that phrase are used in every proposed space treaty, including the Outer Space Exploration Treaty, 1967. The first usage of the term appeared in 1958 as part of the enabling legislation for N.A.S.A. of the U. S. Congress, the preamble of which speaks of "for the benefit of all mankind." Thus, it has been adopted by United Societies in Space for the proposed model Treaty on Jurisdiction in Space. 3.

S. Space Policy rather than lofty principles.) 6. Robinson, G. S. and White, H. M. Envoys of Mankind: A Declaration of First Principles for the Governance of Space Societies.

They describe law in orbit as meta-law - universal laws that transcend all competing principles and work for alien and Earth nations equally. The Metanation proposed here does not take into account the laws of alien nations, but such provisions could be accommodated in time by settlements within its jurisdiction. Its proponents realize that Metanation will have to develop a legal system of its own that is unique to the free-fall culture and its hazards, while benefiting from its legal heritage on Earth - perhaps this will be called "astrolaw" or "metalaw" by its practitioners. 7.
