RI CALLS FOR PROTECTION OF TRADITIONAL KNOWLEDGE
Jakarta, Sept 23 (ANTARA) - Indonesia has urged the world community to immediately form a regime to protect genetic resources, traditional knowledge and folklore (GRTKF).
Law and Human Rights Minister Andi Mattalata made the appeal at an international meeting of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) General Assembly in Geneva early this week, the Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Tuesday.
Before the WIPO General Assembly, the world body's highest law-making forum, Andi praised the international community for what they had done to get the regime formed.
Special appreciation also went to the Intergovernmental Committee at the WIPO which had 12 times convened meetings to bring the expectation into reality, the statement said.
After all, the minister said, developments towards the creation of one or several international protection instruments had been running very slowly.
Therefore, Indonesia urged the international community to immediately create the instruments by the end of this decade at the latest.
On the Development Agenda which has now become the main part of WIPO, the minister hoped that the Committee on Development and Intellectual Property (CDIP), a committee tasked with implementing the recommendations of the Development Agenda, could accelerate the process of deliberating and implementing a number of recommendations already agreed upon.
