The Cartagena Protocol on Biodiversity: A Record of the Negotiations

The present volume serves as an excellent reference point in this respect. By reflecting the differing views during the genesis of the Protocol and painstakingly charting the negotiation of individual provisions, including draft articles not included in the final agreed text, The Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety: A Record of the Negotiations provides us with a history of the gestation and birth of the Protocol to help us understand why it took the final shape that it did.
