The regulation of international trade in genetically modified organisms by Jingjing Zhao (School of Law)
Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are playing an increasing part in international trade. Both WTO agreements and the Cartagena Protocol deal with the trans boundary movement of GMOs. The international treaties overlap with one another and sow the seed for potential conflicts. The thesis firstly looks at the general public international rules which deal with the conflicts between treaties. It also includes a textual analysis of the potential conflicts between WTO agreements and the Cartagena Protocol. It then looks at how the conflicts should be resolved if they cannot be avoided, in order to facilitate the international regulation on trade in GMOs.
