Abstract

Akin to the much publicised contract drawn between Merck and INBio in 1991, the doctrine issued from the Convention on biological biodiversity hinges on the hypothesis of the development of a new activity ? bio prospecting ? and of a new form of international trade, the one of genes. Whereas this latter was conceived in a time which recreated an imagery of plenty attributed to the tropics, today this image is doubtful and of disappointment. Ten years after the coming into effect of the agreement, we hereby propose to draw into perspective the institutional transformations with regard to the international regulation of genetic resources.
