The UN Convention on Biological Diversity is one of the legally binding instruments of the first UN conference on environment and development (1992). Since its entry into force in 1993 the rules of the so-called "Biodiversity Convention" have been further developed during six conferences of the parties. After ten years of global endeavours for the conservation of biological diversity this important process of international environmental co-operation shall be evaluated.

sustainable use of biodiversity
