| Descrizione: | In the last decades, diverse international treaties with either environmental or commercial objetives have been reinforced. This article shows how the first ones have been loosing effect in favor of commerce in those points where they conflict. We have for instance the Agreement on Trade Related Intellectual Property Aspects (TRIPs) that called into question some social and environmental conquests obtained in the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). Thissituation has been reinforcedin the USA-Central America and Dominican Republic free trade agreement (US-DR-CAFTA). The case of Costa Rica, as a Part of this treaty, is a show-case because its advanced legislation to regulate access to its biochemical and genetic resources observing the CBD principles, is subdued to the terms of reference given by the commercial. |
