The Executive Secretary of the CBD, Dr. Braulio Dias made a presentation
focusing on the close inter relationship between the three objectives of the CBD. The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) was adopted in 1992 and now has near-
universal membership with 193 Parties. (...) The CBD also provides for
an equity relationship: access to genetic resources in exchange for the sharing of
benefits arising from the utilization of genetic resources.

access to genetic resources for their utilization, i.e. research and development on their genetic and/or
biochemical composition, and to associated traditional knowledge; (ii) the sharing of benefits derived
from such utilization, as well as subsequent applications and commercialization; and (iii) compliance

Access to Genetic Resources and Benefit Sharing
WSSD in 2002 called for action to negotiate an international regime on the fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising out of the utilization of genetic resources COP-VII mandated the Working Group on ABS to negotiate an international regime on ABS (2004) COP-VIII instructed to complete its work by 2010 Next meetings of WG-ABS in October 2007 and January 2008
3rd objective of the Convention: Fair and equitable sharing of the benefits arising out
of the utilization of genetic resources
CBD continues to support UNGA by providing scientific and, as appropriate, technical information, as demonstrated by on-going studies and other collaborative efforts
Key findings and recommendations of on-going studies will be reviewed and considered by the CBD SBSTTA- 13 (Feb 2008)
Current efforts will provide inputs to the 2nd Ad-hoc Open-ended Informal Working Group Meeting to study issues relating to the Conservation and Sustainable Use of Marine Biological Diversity beyond areas of national jurisdiction
