Very few countries have taken effective measures to promote sharing of benefits arising from the use of genetic resources. This article offers some suggestions as to why this is the case and poses a number of questions that need to be dealt with before such a system can be in place. It develops the concept of genetic resources and suggests that the focus need to be at the successful end uses of genetic material rather than at the point in time when genetic material is found in the nature. |
