HERRERA I, Juan Antonio. International law and GMOs: Can the precautionary principle protect biological diversity?. Bol. Mex. Der. Comp. [online]. 2007, vol.40, n.118, pp.97-136. ISSN 2448-4873.
The expansion in the production, distribution and consumption of GOMs, has produced discussions about pros and cons concerning their legal regulation. The author of this study examines the different scenarios in which the controversies develop, referring to topics such as the restrictions of the World Trade Organization that have affected great producers of GOMs like the United States, Canada and Argentina in their capacity to commercialize their products. But mainly, the author makes a global analysis with reference to the precautionary principle that affects diverse legal and economic interests, whose existence is necessary as it is considered as a central element of the fundamental right to a healthy environment.
