Domestic law on Liability

This article discusses the domestic and international laws governing liability for damage caused by genetically modified organisms (GMOs), including their release into the environment, field trials, and marketing. It explores the liability of GMO farmers, seed producers, and persons who mishandle GMOs, as well as the concept of channelling liability. The Swiss Solution and the right of recourse against marketed GMO seeds are also highlighted. The implementation of the Convention is examined, including compliance and the role of the Parties and the Compliance Committee.
