About this statute

El preámbulo explica las razones y objetivos del convenio sobre diversidad biológica: conservar la biodiversidad y usarla de forma sostenible. This provision states the Convention’s objectives: conserve biological diversity, use its components sustainably, and ensure fair and equitable sharing of benefits from genetic resources. This article defines key terms used in the Convention. States may exploit their own resources under their own environmental policy, and they must ensure activities under their jurisdiction or control do not harm other States’ environments or areas beyond national jurisdiction. El Convenio se aplica a cada Parte Contratante dentro de su jurisdicción nacional, y también a procesos y actividades bajo su jurisdicción o control aunque sus efectos se manifiesten fuera de esas zonas, salvo que el propio Convenio disponga otra cosa expresamente.
