This aims to help the parties implement the fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from the utilization of genetic resources (in particular when it concerns indigenous people´s knowledge of biodiversity).

Governs the movements of living modified organisms (LMOs) also known as Genetically Modified Organisms resulting from modern biotechnology from one country to another.  To help do this a Biosafety Clearing-House (BCH) was established to facilitate the exchange of information on LMOs and assist the Parties to better comply with their obligations under the Protocol.
