Lyakisheva, Y.A. On the role of international legal regulation of genetic engineering

Abstract: This article is devoted to the role of international legal regulation of genetic engineering, which becomes more and more topical from the standpoint of international regulation. Eating genetically modified foods may cause harm to human health to whole generations, and use and spread of genetically modifies organisms (GMO) may lead to the degradation of biological variety, regardless of the borders. That is why the issue of genetic engineering is more than just a domestic national problem, and it cannot be effectively solved within the limits of a particular state.
