    The Cartagena Protocol is a protocol of the Convention on Biological Diversity that provides a framework for the safe transfer, handling, and use of living modified organisms (LMOs) resulting from biotechnology that may have adverse effects on biodiversity. It establishes an advance informed agreement procedure for international trade in LMOs and focuses on transboundary movements. While it has been successful in creating standards for the environmentally sound application of biotechnology, some issues remain unresolved and limitations include failing to launch new trade negotiations. Overall, it is a significant step that elaborates on the precautionary principle in international environmental law.

    THE CARTOGENA PROTOCAL
     The Cartagena Protocol is a protocol of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD).

     The Parties shall consider the need for and modalities of a protocol setting out appropriate

    procedures, including, in particular, advance informed agreement, in the field of the safe transfer,

    handling and use of any living modified organisms (LMOS) resulting from biotechnology that

    may have adverse effect on the conservation and sustainable use of biological diversity.
     The Protocol was adopted on 29th January 2000.130 Parties signed the protocol. Currently 119
    countries have ratified
     India ratified the protocol on 17th January,2003.The Protocol came into force on 11th
    September 2003.
    OBJECTIVES
     The objective of the protocol is to contribute for safe transfer, handling and use of
    living modified organisms(LMOS) resulting from modern biotechnology that
    may have adverse effects on the conservation and sustainable use of biological
    diversity.
     The Protocol also takes into account risks to human health.
     The Protocol specifically focuses on transboundary movement of LMOs.
    Important Elements of The Protocol
     Scope
     Precautionary Principal
     Advanced informed agreement procedure
     Decision Procedure
     Separate procedure for LMO-FFP
     Identification
     Liability and redress
     Biosafety clearing house mechanism
     Capacity building
     Compliance
     Relationship with other agreements.
     
     
    Success of the Cartagena protocol
     The cartagena Biosafety Protocol has been hailed as a significant step forward in that it provides an international
    regulatory framework to reconcile the respective needs of trade and environmental protection with respect to a
    rapidly growing global industry, the biotechnology industry. The Protocol thus creates an enabling environment
    for the environmentally sound application of biotechnology, making it possible to derive maximum benefit from
    the potential that biotechnology has to offer, while minimizing the possible risks to the environment and to human
    health.
    LIMITATIONS OF THE PROTOCAL
     Failing to launch a new round of trade negotiations in Seattle.
     The denial of fast-track negotiating authority in the U.S.
     the death of the OECD efforts to conclude an investment agreement.

    COMCLUSION

    The Cartagena Protocol overall is a mixed package. Some of the tougher issues have been postponed until a later
    date, and others remain unsettled through ambiguity. But the progressive elements of this agreement—the strong
    elaboration of the precautionary principle prime among them—make it a strong addition to the body of international
    environmental law. It is also welcome as a signpost on the road to more enlightened trade policy-making.
