Abstract:The Cartagena Protocol was adopted in 2000 as a complementary agreement to the Convention on Biological Diversity. The Protocol seeks to protect biological diversity by managing the movements of Live Modified Organisms resulting from the application of modern technology (LMOs) between countries. It establishes a procedure for prior informed agreement to ensure countries have the necessary information to make decisions about the importing of LMOs into their territory.
