ABSTRACT
This book examined in depth the highlights of the Nagoya-Kuala Lumpur Supplementary Protocol on Liability and Redress to the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety (Supplementary Protocol) from the perspective of both the negotiators and the academia. Because the Supplementary Protocol was able to shelve many of the potential difficulties and complexities particular to biotechnology and LMOs, its legal design was premised mainly on addressing biodiversity damage in an international liability regime. This book considered that this aspect of the Supplementary Protocol might have profound precedential and theoretical implications that go beyond the LMOs and biotechnology.
