Title: exploitation des Ressources Génétiques Marines Hors Juridiction Nationale
Description: The Exploitation of Marine Genetic Resources in Areas beyond National Jurisdiction' by Valérie Wyssbrod begins by identifying the legal regime applicable to these underexploited resources which offer vast potential for the development of new drugs, bioplastics, depolluting products and other innovations. The author then outlines provisions for a new treaty, currently under discussion at the UN and presents alternatives to a new regime including revised legal instruments, the development of soft law and the creation of an applicable ecolabel.
