Global commons

Global commons

Global commons is that which no one person or state may own or control and which is central to life. A Global Common contains an infinite potential with regard to the understanding and advancement of the biology and society of all life. e.g. forests, oceans, land mass and cultural identity and hence requires absolute protection.

In old English law, the common (or commons) was a tract of ground shared by residents of a village, but belonging to no-one.It might be grazing grounds, or the village square, but it was property held in common for the good of all.
