From the perspective of protecting people's health, ensuring national security and maintaining long-term stability of the country, biosafety should be brought into the national security system.
In the mid-1980s, 1985, UNEP, WHO, UNIDO and FAO jointly formed an informal ad hoc working group on biosafety, and began to pay attention to biosafety issues. 1992 After the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development was held, biosafety legislation attracted international attention. The two programmatic documents signed at this conference, Agenda 2 1 Century and the Convention on Biological Diversity, specifically mentioned the issue of biosafety. Starting from 1994, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) * * * organized 10 round of working meetings and intergovernmental negotiations to prepare for the formulation of a comprehensive biosafety protocol. In order to draft the first draft of the protocol as soon as possible, four meetings of the Ad Hoc Expert Working Group were held on the biosafety protocol. 1February 1999 and 65438+20001October, the special meeting of the conference of the parties to the convention on biological diversity and its "resumed meeting" were held respectively. 1more than 30 countries sent delegations to discuss related issues, among which EU 15 was the most active. All environment ministers attended the meeting, and the US Deputy Secretary of State also attended the meeting. After many discussions and amendments, the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety to the Convention on Biological Diversity was finally opened for signature in Nairobi from May 5 to 26, 2000, and then at the United Nations Headquarters in new york from June 5, 2000 to June 4, 2006.
