The database on access and benefit-sharing measures includes measures which have been taken by Governments or relevant organisations to assist with the implementation of access and benefit-sharing provisions of the Convention. The database covers a broad range of measures such as: national or regional strategies, policies, legislations, regulations, community management plans, guidelines or codes of conducts on access and benefit-sharing. It includes measures undertaken at the regional, national, sub-national, community or local level.
GRAIN: Database on Biodiversity Rights Legislation www.grain.org/brl/
The database on Biodiversity Rights Legislation (BRL) is a collection of emerging and existing laws that directly affect people's control over biodiversity in developing countries. It compiles those legislative texts that define rights in relation to genetic resources or to the knowledge associated with those materials. As a tool to follow what is going on in this area, the BRL includes both draft and adopted legislation.
