生物科技相关法律问题与《禁止生物武器公约》

Interrelated Law Issues about Biotechnology and Convention on the Prohibition of the Development Production and Stockpiling of Bacteriological (Biological) and Toxin Weapons and on Their Destruction

生物技术所具有的人为改变生物自然性状的能力,也对生物多样性的保护构成了前所未有的威胁,并与人类社会的伦理观念发生了冲突。在专家学者、政府部门和各界的共同努力之下,发达国家目前已初步建立了生物安全规范体系。在国际范围内,联合国环境规划署制定了《国际生物技术安全准则》。为此, 我们必须加强对生物科技相关法律问题的研究。科学上的任何一样进步,人类都可以拿来作为武器。随着生物技术的飞速发展,在不久的将来很有可能会研制出杀伤力更隐蔽的新一代生物武器——基因武器。《禁止生物武器公约》对于禁止生物武器、防止生物武器扩散发挥了积极作用,已成为国际军控条约体系和以联合国为中心的集体安全框架的重要组成部分。中国政府一贯主张全面禁止和彻底销毁包括生物武器在内的一切大规模杀伤性武器,高度重视公约在维护世界和平与安全方面的积极作用。

Biotechnology has the ability of changing natural characters by men. It also constitutes an unprecedented threat to the protection of the biology diversity and conflicts with the ethical concept of human society. In the joint efforts of experts, scholars, government and all circles, developed countries have initially established norrnative system of living creature. United Nations Environment Programme has made the Safe Criterion in International Biotechnology in the intternational scope. For this reason, we must strengthen the re,arches on the interrelated law issues about biology science. Because human-beings can take any scientific progress as weapons, as the fast development of biotechnology, it is possible to develop a new generation of biological weapons with more hid- den killing -genic weapons in near future. The Convention on the Prohibition of the Development Production and Stockpiling of Bacteriological（Biological） and Toxin Weapons and on Their Destruction plays a positive role in forbidding the biological weapons and preventing them from spreading. It has become the fundamental part of the united safe frame of international arms control treaty system and on the centre of the UN. The Chinese government always insists that we should forbid in full scale and destroy thoroughly all the massive destruction weapons, including biological weapons and we always highly emphasize the positive effect of the conventions in the area of protecting the global peace and safety.
