"....Current negotiations within the framework of the CBD on access and
benefit sharing do not address the issues created by nationalization of
genetic resources. Hence, a dialogue should be initiated in the next
Conference of the  Parties (COP) of the CBD to correct the historic
aberration of nationalization and to treat biological diversity as a common
heritage of mankind. "
