The exploitation itself is done by States or private or public enterprises as well as by an international organ. For this purpose, the UN Convention of 1982 established the Authority and the Enterprise, and the Agreement on the Moon provides for the possible creation of an international organization governing activities on the Moon and other celestial bodies. The human genome consists of the genes and genetic information as a whole. Today, resources are no longer always tangible, but also intangible, such as services, information and so on.
