The Convention on Biological Diversity (1992), by setting among its objectives the fair and equitable sharing of the benefits arising from the use of genetic resources, calls on researchers to consider the ethical, economic and political dimensions of research on the biodiversity.

The Nagoya Protocol (2014) clarified the legal framework for this objective. This video presents the principles of Access and Benefit Sharing (ABS) and gives researchers concerned with the Nagoya Protocol the main keys to respecting them. "
