It is the result of a collaborative effort which brings together the contributions of a select group of experts from academia and from international organisations with the purpose of discussing the extent to which current activities in the field of biotechnology can be regulated by existing human rights principles and standards, and what gaps, if any, need to be identified and filled with new legislative initiatives. Instruments such as the UNESCO Declaration on the Human Genome (1997) and on Bioethics and Human Rights (2005) are having an impact on customary international law. But what is the relevance of these instruments with respect to traditional concepts of state responsibility and the functioning of domestic remedies against misuse of biotechnologies? Are new legislative initiatives needed, and what are the pros and cons of a race toward the adoption of new ad hoc instruments in an area of such rapid technological development? Are there risks of normative and institutional fragmentation as a consequence of the proliferation of different regulatory regimes? Can we identify a core of human rights principles that define the boundaries of legitimate uses of biotechnology, the legal status of human genetic material, as well as the implications of the definition of the human genome as 'common heritage of humanity' for the purpose of patenting of genetic inventions? These and other questions are the focus of a fascinating collection of essays which, together, help to map this emerging field of inquiry."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 410 0$aStudies in international law (Oxford, England) ;$vv. 13. 606 $aBiotechnology industries$xLaw and legislation$vCongresses 606 $aBiotechnology$xLaw and legislation$vCongresses 606 $aHuman rights$vCongresses 606 $2International human rights law 615 0$aBiotechnology industries$xLaw and legislation 615 0$aBiotechnology$xLaw and legislation 615 0$aHuman rights 676 $a343.0786606 702 $aFrancioni$b Francesco 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784748003321 996 $aBiotechnologies and international human rights$9711031 997 $aUNINA
