Biodiversité, biotechnologies et savoirs traditionnels. du patrimoine commun de l'humanité aux ABS (access to genetic resources and benefit-sharing)

Abstract: By dismissing ?the common status of biodiversity? as a colonial heritage of the rich countries (aimed at keeping a free access to developing country resources) and in claiming their national sovereignty on the said resources, developing countries have only played into the hands of biotechnological firms and fostered the cause of ?live patenting?. This article shows that they haven?t really defended their own interests and the ones of their populations.
