Traditional Knowledge and Genetic Resources: Observing Legal Protection through the Lens of Historical Geography and Human Rights
Seminars
Public
National and regional legal and regulatory frameworks have been put in place to implement provisions of the 1992 Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) on access to genetic resources and traditional knowledge and benefit sharing from their use. However, few meaningful benefits from access and benefit sharing (ABS) frameworks have been secured by groups holding traditional knowledge associated with genetic resources (TKGR) or by other developing country stakeholders. Our hypothesis is that ABS frameworks can only work effectively and equitably in a world in which the geographies of genetic resources and of associated traditional knowledge are sufficiently static, and where the norm is for there to be unequivocal linkages between knowledge-holding individuals and groups, biological matter and information of actual or potential human use associated with this knowledge, and specific and identifiable places.
