With engineered gene drives and similar techniques, the genes of wild-living species, pathogens, and crop plants can soon be modified directly in the environment. This might help address pressing public health, environmental, and food security problems. However, these techniques may also spread across national borders. Looking at both states and private actors, this book studies the rules of international law on the prevention of, and liability for, adverse transboundary effects caused by self-spreading biotechnology. Through an in-depth analysis of the relevant treaties and custom, it shows that international law is not yet equipped to cope with the challenges ahead. 606 $aInternational law 615 0$aInternational law. 676 $a341 700 $aBeck$b F$g(Felix),$098638 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910734378403321 996 $aSelf-spreading biotechnology and international law$94483894 997 $aUNINA
