Draft 2:
Convention on Genetically Modified Foods
Category: Health| Area of Effect: Research | Proposed by: Daves Computer
The World Assembly,
Recognizing that genetically modified foods are a relatively unexplored subject, with the risks and benefits not yet thoroughly known,
Concerned that some institutions warn genetically modified foods may lead to such risks as contributing to the development of cancer, passing antibiotic resistances to consumers, and potentially poisoning the ecosystem with their resistances to herbicides and pesticides,
Defines "Genetically Modified Foods" as foods whose DNA has been altered through means of genetic engineering,
Expands the World Assembly Food and Drug Regulatory Agency (WAFDRA) responsibilities to researching the affects of long-term consumption and mass production of genetically modified foods as well as offer educational materials on the subject,
Obligates member nations to share information with the WAFDRA on what genetically modified foods are produced in the borders, as well as the process in designing and manufacturing such products,
Strongly encourages member nations aid in the WAFDA's research directly in ways including but not limited to:Recommends member nations require genetically modified foods be clearly labeled as such for consumers.
- Offering financial support,
- Donating relevant equipment,
- Dedicating their own research institutions to this research,
