New book on the regulation of marine resources
David Langlet, professor of environmental law at the Department of Law, Uppsala University, and Niels Krabbe, postdoctoral researcher in international law at the University of Gothenburg, have published a book entitled "Marine Bioprospecting, Biodiversity and Novel Uses of Ocean Resources: New Approaches in International Law".
It deals with the regulation of marine resources, in particular genetic resources and so-called bioprospecting. It analyzes, among other things, the international agreement on the protection of biodiversity in areas beyond national jurisdiction (i.e. on the high seas) adopted last year.
