Book Synopsis Research and Development on Genetic Resources by : Evanson Chege Kamau
Download or read book Research and Development on Genetic Resources written by Evanson Chege Kamau and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-06-05 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: National implementation of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) provisions has yielded enough challenges for providers and users of genetic resources and associated traditional knowledge alike. The Nagoya Protocal brings novel ideas for resolving the challenges plaguing the Access and Benefit-Sharing (ABS) process in general and non-commercial research in particular. This is one of the first books to address research cooperation and facilitated access for non-commercial biodiversity research. It uniquely offers concrete and practicable solutions based on experiences of researchers and administrative officials with ABS, and on the interpretation of the Nagoya Protocol on how free and lively taxonomic research can be ensured while at the same time observing obligations of obtaining prior informed consent and sharing of benefits. This book will be useful to students of International Environmental Law, International Biodiversity Law, Intellectual Property Law, Climate Law and Law of Indigenous Populations. With foreword from Executive Secretary CBD, Braulio Ferreira de Souza Dias.
Book Synopsis Genetic Resources, Traditional Knowledge and the Law by : Evanson C. Kamau
Download or read book Genetic Resources, Traditional Knowledge and the Law written by Evanson C. Kamau and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-09-02 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The need to regulate access to genetic resources and ensure a fair and equitable sharing of any resulting benefits was at the core of the development of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). The CBD established a series of principles and requirements around access and benefit sharing (ABS) in order to increase transparency and equity in the international flow of genetic resources, yet few countries have been able to effectively implement them and ABS negotiations are often paralysed by differing interests. This book not only examines these complex challenges, but offers workable, policy-oriented solutions. International contributors cover theoretical approaches, new significant national legislation, the concept of traditional knowledge, provider and user country measures and common solutions. Exploring specific, salient examples from across the globe, the authors provide lessons for national regulation and the ongoing negotiations for an international ABS regime. Uniquely, this book also looks at the potential for 'horizontal' development of ABS law and policy, applying lessons from bilateral approaches to other national contexts.
Book Synopsis Genetic Resources as Natural Information by : Manuel Ruiz Muller
Download or read book Genetic Resources as Natural Information written by Manuel Ruiz Muller and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-09-16 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Demonstrating the shortcomings of current policy and legal approaches to access and benefit-sharing (ABS) in the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), this book recognizes that genetic resources are widely distributed across countries and that bilateral contracts undermine fairness and equity. The book offers a practical and feasible regulatory alternative to ensure the goal of fairness and equity is effectively and efficiently met. Through a legal analysis that also incorporates historic, economic and sociological perspectives, the book argues that genetic resources are not tangible resources but information. It shows that the existing preference for bilateralism and contracts reflects resistance on the part of many of the stakeholders involved in the CBD process to recognize them as such. ABS issues respond very well to the economics of information, yet as the author explains, these have been either sidelined or overlooked. At a time when the Nagoya Protocol on ABS has renewed interest in feasible policy options, the author provides a constructive and provocative critique. The institutional, policy and regulatory framework constitute "bounded openness" under which fairness and equity emerge.
Book Synopsis Access and Benefit Sharing of Genetic Resources, Information and Traditional Knowledge by : Charles Lawson
Download or read book Access and Benefit Sharing of Genetic Resources, Information and Traditional Knowledge written by Charles Lawson and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-10-14 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Addressing the management of genetic resources, this book offers a new assessment of the contemporary Access and Benefit Sharing (ABS) regime. Debates about ABS have moved on. The initial focus on the legal obligations established by international agreements like the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity and the form of obligations for collecting physical biological materials have now shifted into a far more complex series of disputes and challenges about the ways ABS should be implemented and enforced. These now cover a wide range of issues, including: digital sequence information, the repatriation of resources, technology transfer, traditional knowledge and cultural expressions, open access to information and knowledge, naming conventions, farmers’ rights, new schemes for accessing pandemic viruses sharing DNA sequences, and so on. Drawing together perspectives from an interdisciplinary range of leading and emerging international scholars, this book offers a new approach to the ABS landscape; as it breaks from the standard regulatory analyses in order to explore alternative solutions to the intractable issues for the Access and Benefit Sharing of genetic resources. Addressing these modern legal debates from a perspective that will appeal to both ABS scholars and those with broader legal concerns in the areas of intellectual property, food, governance, Indigenous issues, and so on, this book will be a useful resource for scholars and students as well as those in government and in international institutions working in relevant areas.

Book Synopsis Biological Resource Centers by : Scott Stern
Download or read book Biological Resource Centers written by Scott Stern and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2004-11-30 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biological resource centers (BRCs) collect, certify, and distribute organisms for use in research and in the development of commercial products in the pharmaceutical, agricultural, and biotechnology industries. They maintain a large and varied collection, including cell lines, micro-organisms, recombinant DNA material, biological media and reagents, and the information technology tools that allow researchers to access biological materials. BRCs have established themselves as a crucial element in the life science innovation infrastructure, from their early impact on virology, to their crucial role in addressing cross-culture contamination in the 1970s, to their current leadership in promoting a global biodiversity network. Today they confront new challenges, resulting from shifts in the nature of biological research, the interaction between public and private researchers, and the increasing focus on biosecurity. This book provides a systematic economic assessment of the impact of biological resource centers through their role in facilitating cumulative knowledge in the life sciences and building on their roles as knowledge hubs—institutions that facilitate the transfer of scientific and technical knowledge among members of a research community. The knowledge hubs framework offers insight into how to develop and evaluate policy proposals that impinge on the control and access of biological materials. Stern argues that science and innovation policy must be premised on a clear understanding of the role that knowledge hubs play and the policy mechanisms that encourage their sustained growth and effectiveness.

Book Synopsis Access to Plant Genetic Resources and the Equitable Sharing of Benefits by : International Plant Genetic Resources Institute
Download or read book Access to Plant Genetic Resources and the Equitable Sharing of Benefits written by International Plant Genetic Resources Institute and published by Bioversity International. This book was released on 1996 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 6th session of the FAO Commission on Plant Genetic Resources requested that IPGRI study the feasibility of possible systems for the exchange of plant genetic resources for food and agriculture (PGRFA)1 and the equitable sharing of benefits. The following report is the result of that study. It seeks to provide the Commission with a set of options and their implications and thus to inform international negotiationsconncerning the revision of the International Undertaking on Plant Genetic Tesources. As part of the study process a wide series of consultations was held with major stakeholder groups. A fundamental justification for conserving and characterizing PGRFA is their potential for use in the development of improved crop varieties. These improved varieties are necessary to meet the food needs of a growing population and the demands of changing agro-ecological and social conditions.
Book Synopsis Sustainable Use of Genetic Resources Under the Convention on Biological Diversity by : William Lesser
Download or read book Sustainable Use of Genetic Resources Under the Convention on Biological Diversity written by William Lesser and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Convention on Biological Diversity is a complex document, particularly in those articles dealing with the ownership and use of genetic resources. While only limited progress has been made in applying the Convention, countries are nevertheless acting unilaterally on its placement of genetic resources as their sovereign right to exploit. There is a need to review and synthesize all of the aspects of these issues, and this book aims to fill that gap in the literature. Its focus is the presentation of legal and economic issues regarding the sustainable use and transfer of genetic resources and associated technologies. It also identifies specific steps that can be taken and their expected consequences. Drawing particularly on Articles 8, 9, 15, 16, 18 and 19 of the Convention, it will assist positive and timely action during this critical juncture in its application. It will be invaluable for scientists, policy-makers and NGOs, whether from the perspectives of economics or law, or more applied fields such as biological conservation or plant breeding and biotechnology.

Book Synopsis The Incorporation of the CBD Mandate on Access and Benefit-Sharing Into TRIPS Regime by : Kuei-Jung Ni
Download or read book The Incorporation of the CBD Mandate on Access and Benefit-Sharing Into TRIPS Regime written by Kuei-Jung Ni and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is clear that most valuable genetic resources are located in developing countries. The value, academically and from a business perspective, has been luring biological researchers and bio-technologically advanced companies to conduct bio-prospecting activities in these areas. The patents resulting from this illegal bio-piracy are then granted in developed nations. The recent national implementation of the CBD by imposing a relatively restrictive policy on access and benefit-sharing of genetic resources may correct this unjust situation. But, the CBD is a conservation treaty, and by its very nature, cannot govern the national IPR system of countries that are not contracting parties to the treaty. Developing countries thus endeavor to play a very aggressive role in pushing for the revision of the WTO/TRIPS with a view to accommodating the CBD requirements. The approach is not welcomed by patent powerful Members, such as the United States. This article will examine whether appeal would be fair and just in the TRIPS context and how the WTO should address the issue. The article proposes that the proposal partially departs from the integrity of the patent system. For the sake of balancing rights and obligations, a new concept for the conditioning of the grant of patents on disclosure of the CBD elements deserves the careful contemplation of the international community. Even if the approach were not entirely adopted and thus not mandatory for all WTO members, this article suggests that it should discretionary for all members. Hence, the policy of linking the CBD to national patent systems should not be challenged at the WTO by countries that disfavor the appeal.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has been increasingly international awareness, mainly from developing countries, of mandating a proper control on illegal bio-prospecting of genetic resources during the past decade. The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) adopted in 1990s has been widely viewed as a powerful international mechanism in dealing with the issue mainly by requiring access to and benefit-sharing (ABS) regime in the national level. The prior informed consent (PIC) specified by the treaty constitutes a major means to deter the infamous unregulated bio-piracy and to ensure a fair access to genetic resources. Since the effectiveness of the CBD, national implementation of the ABS has been flourishing, shown in the enactment of laws and regulations. Given the differential social structure in individual nations, there seems no consistent pattern of the PIC practices domestically. Some legislatures recognize the decisive role of indigenous or local community in the context of enforcing PIC, making access to genetic resources impossible without their consent. On the other hand, to ensure the access process more effectively, several central governments dominate PIC process so as to make the will of local people relatively margin or simply to treat their determination only as one of the factors to be considered for the final decision of granting consent. This article aims to conduct a comparative study on how genetically rich nations implement the PIC requirement with a view to examining whether the genuine objective of the CBD has been fulfilled. The task involves an analysis of legal arrangements and implications in several leading models of legislature. Recently, Taiwan has started to sense the significance of regulating the bio-prospecting activities and to engage in formulating a draft thereafter. It thus will be a focal point of this article to evaluate the normative design of the PIC in such a law.
