The issue of safety for Living Modified Organisms can negatively influence on the sustainable develpoment and preservation of biodiversity, and is contentious to judge it safe in terms of its influence on human body. Wherefore, The Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety is the first International Convention on Environment in the 21st century that has stipulated the procedure which can secure safety when LMOs transboundary movements on the basis of Precautionary principle, which is one of the principles of environmental law despite the scientific uncertainty as to the potential risk of LMOs, and it mainly covers the prior notification approval at the transboundary movements of LMOs, the influence and risk assessment, management on the environment of LMOs, development of capability over the assessment and screening over risks, matters in relation with the handling, transportation, packaging and identification, information sharing, responsibility and compensation on damages to be caused by the transboundary movements of LMOs. Above all, in preparation of the damage to be caused by LMOs, in accordance with The Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety, the nations concerned have discussed much to establish international norms over Liability and Redress when a damage occurs due to LMOs, and as a result, it makes a decision to adopt The Nagoya – Kuala Lumpur Supplementary Protocol on Liability and Redress to the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety. However, this Supplementary Protocol has suggested overall outlines, not devising a concrete agenda, and its embodiment was left as a burden on the nations concerned. Therefore, a discussion to enact the text as to the Liability and Redress which the Supplementary Protocol has suggested to the nations concerned is deemed as necessary, and we have reviewed the contents associated.
