Legal Mechanism for International Damage Caused by Transboundary Transference of Modified Living Organism

Abstract

Modified living organism is a double-edged sword, which brings human benefits as well as risks to ecological environment. The transboundary transference of modified living organism may cause damage to the ecological environment, and there are still many problems with the existing legal mechanism Therefore, the author proposed some suggestions based on the characteristics of international damage caused by transboundary transference of modified living organism, such as unifying the standard of damage degree quantification and the specific way of liability; carrying out the responsibility of damage; determining the principle of imputation; and the time limit liability investigation.
