Biodiversity and Biotechnology Law - LAW865
The unit will critically engage with the concepts of biodiversity and biotechnology from legal and interdisciplinary points of view. It will provide an overview of international instruments and current negotiations relevant to biodiversity, as well as to "access and benefit-sharing" in genetic resources, especially the 1992 Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). Legislation, policies, and programmes implemented in Australia and other countries in compliance with the CBD and related international instruments aimed at promoting and protecting biodiversity and regulating trade and intellectual property rights in this field will be examined and evaluated in case studies and court decisions.
