Fecha 2004 Fuente IUCN (ID: MON-094173) Editor | Lugar de publicación Kluwer Law International | The Hague, The Netherlands ISBN 9789041120878 Tipo de documento Monografía/libro Idioma Inglés Campo de aplicación Internacional Materia Especies silvestres y ecosistemas Palabra clave Acceso a la biodiversidad y distribución de beneficios Recursos genéticos Resumen This is a multidisciplinary volume comprising contributions from lawyers, scientists and policy makers on the globally significant issue of accessing biological, and ultimately genetic, resources for commercial and scientific purposes. This volume deals with a number of international instruments but emphasizes the Convention on Biological Diversity and considers the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture, the WTO Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights, the rights of Indigenous Peoples, as well as issues in bioprospecting, scientific and commercial development. Consideration of the issues is raised at national, regional and international levels but here the focus is primarily the unique Australian experience, thereby reflecting the larger international debates between the developed nations and the megadiverse developing nations.
