The Permanent Forum decides to appoint Michael Dodson and Victoria Tauli-Corpuz, Members of the Permanent Forum, as Special Rapporteurs to organize and undertake a technical review of the proposed international regime on access and benefit-sharing, as recommended in paragraph 48 (i) of the report of the international expert group meeting on the international regime on access and benefit-sharing and indigenous peoples’ human rights of the Convention on Biological Diversity (E/C.19/2007/8).
Responses
SCBD reports (2011): The SCBD was a proud sponsor of the Chairperson of the UNPFII, which allowed Vicky Tauli-Corpus to participate in the resumed 9th meeting of the WG ABS, however she was not available to participate in the four other negotiations also held in 2011. A lack of resources and adequate support has resulted in the non-completion of this recommendation which in order to be effective needed to be completed before COP 10 (October 2010). The Secretariat has been informed by Michael Dodson that a report is being finalized and will be made available to the 10th session of the UNPFII.
