Background and Aim: At the world level, the production, use and trade of transgenic products have complex and contradictory dimensions, this complexity and possible risks have led to the formulation of various domestic laws and international treaties at the world level. Food security is an important issue in the global community and due to the lack of food and the widespread distribution of genetically modified products and due to the harm, these products have, countries face challenges such as sensitizing actions, toxicity of genetically modified products, creating resistance to antibiotics, they are faced with creating problems in the reproductive process and causing brain tumors. In this research, transgenic products were investigated from multiple legal angles. The results show that due to the existing restrictions and lack of food in the communities, on the one hand, they are facing the lack of healthy food and on the other hand, they are facing the disadvantages of these products. Therefore, in order to solve these challenges, the cooperation of global organizations such as FAO with global trade organizations and revision of global laws regarding food security can promise improvement in this field. Also, in the light of Iran's laws, this issue shows that Iran's biosafety law has several main ambiguities that have doubled the ambiguities of civil responsibility of genetically modified products.
Methods.The research method employed in this study is descriptive-analytical, with data and information gathered through the library research method.
Ethical Considerations: Ethical considerations have been thoroughly addressed and adhered.
Results: Upon scrutinizing international documents and various perspectives within Iran's legal framework, it becomes apparent that pure responsibility serves as a foundational principle in accordance with both Iran's domestic law and international agreements.
Conclusion: In summary, evaluating the advantages of transgenic products on one hand and acknowledging the challenges and consequences on the other, it is imperative to approach their utilization with caution and foresight when making decisions. |
