Consent Procedure

Konvensi ini memang tidak langsung memberikan efek yang signifikan namun dengan meratifikasi konvensi ini akan memberikan pengaruh terhadap kelangsungan ekspor bahan mentah terlebih sumber daya alam seperti bahan obat-obatan, bahan pangan dan bahan lainnya yang terkontaminasi oleh bahan kimia dan pestisida berbahaya. Ratifikasi konvensi ini akan mempersempit kemungkinan menurunnya kualitas keanekaragaman hayati yang sering dimanfaatkan untuk kebutuhan hidup. Selain itu adanya konvensi ini akan mencegah munculnya masalah terhadap lapangan pekerjaan bagi pihak-pihak yang terkontaminasi limbah maupun bahan kimia dan pestisida yang berbahaya seperti para petani, nelayan dan masyarakat pada umumnya. Jika ditelaah secara mendalam jumlah ekpor pada sektor pertanian setiap tahun terus mengalami penurunan, hal ini disebabkan oleh menurunya kualitas ekosistem persawahan akibat pemakaian pestisida yang berlebihan.

Knowledge Commons

AbstractThe experience of the indigenous communities regarding access and benefit sharing under the national regimes based on provisions of Convention on Biological Diversity and Bonn Guidelines has not been satisfactory. The communities expect that noncommercial values should be respected and misappropriation should be prevented. Some academics and civil society groups have suggested that traditional knowledge commons and biocultural protocols will be useful in ensuring that while noncommercial values are respected, access and benefit sharing takes place on conditions that are acceptable to the communities. This proposal is examined in this context in the larger context of access and benefit sharing under the Convention on Biological Diversity and implementing prior informed consent principles in access and benefit sharing. This article examines knowledge commons, provides examples from constructed commons in different sectors and situates traditional knowledge commons in the context of debates on commons and public domain. The major shortcomings of traditional commons and bicultural protocol are pointed out, and it is suggested that these are significant initiatives that can be combined with the Nagoya Protocol to fulfill the expectations of indigenous communities.
