an analysis of law nº 11.105/05

Abstract

The work presents an analysis of genetically modified organisms and biosafety, based on Law nº 11.105/05 (Biosafety Law), passing through the norms that correlate with the theme such as the right to an ecologically balanced environment. The purpose of the article resides in a reflection on the scope of the legal concepts existing in Law nº 11.105/05, in face of the Cartagena Protocol. In view of this purpose, from the methodological point of view, the theoretical research consists of the analysis of existing normative texts, comparing them, with the aid of bibliographic research, using the deductive analytical method, from the reading of doctrine, documents and articles. The discussion carried out in the work signals the theoretical influence of the Cartagena Protocol, in practice, the demobilization of the actors, who should be the most interested in the implementation of transparency, information, risk management, public participation
