International Law Association, International Law on Biotechnology - Conference Report Rio de Janeiro 2008, available at: http://www.ila-hq.org/en/committees/draft_committee_reports_rio_2008.cfm.
The 2008 report is an interim report, based upon contributions drafted by members and observers of the Committee submitted by Members and observers in a personal capacity and edited by the chair and reporters.The Committee will present its agreed views and recommendations in the final report and resolution only. The report thus does not include draft recommendations, but will serve as a basis for further work of the Committee, to be concluded in 2010 with a report and a resolution containing specific recommendations for further action in the development of international law on biotechnology. The Committee will identify in its future work regulatory needs and instruments in international law and seek to make a contribution to bring about greater coherence between the different areas of application. It will examine these issues from a perspective of multilayered governance and proper vertical allocation of regulatory powers. The Committee met for two conferences in preparing this report. The results of the World Trade Forum 2006 are published. The Members of the Committee are particularly grateful to the staff of the World Trade Institute, University of Bern, and the NCCR Project Trade Regulation, funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation for unprecedented support in preparing this report. |
