Legal Aspects of Implementing the Cartagena Protocol (Cambridge University Press, 2012)
Marie-Claire Cordonier Segger, Frederic Perron-Welch & Christine Frison, eds
This book, the first in a new series that focuses on treaty implementation for sustainable development, examines key legal aspects of implementing the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety to the UN Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) at national and international levels. The volume provides a serious contribution to the current legal and political academic debates on biosafety by discussing key issues under the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety that affect the further design of national and international law on biosafety, and analyzing recent progress in the development of domestic regulatory regimes for biosafety.
