Federal Act on the Protection of Nature and Cultural Heritage (NCHA)
The objective of the Federal Act on the Protection of Nature and Cultural Heritage includes, among others, the protection of indigenous flora and fauna and their natural habitats and the promotion of the conservation of biological diversity and the sustainable use of its components through the fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from genetic resources.
Section 3c of the Act addresses Genetic Resources specifically by:
- establishing a due diligence requirement (Art. 23n) and a notification requirement (Art. 23o);
- addressing traditional knowledge (Art. 23p)
- defining a delegation norm to regulate access to genetic resources in Switzerland (Art. 23q);
- specifying penal provisions (Art. 24a para 2).
The legal amendments entered into force together with the Nagoya Protocol on 12 October 2014. The due diligence and the notification requirements (Art. 23n, Art. 23o) apply to cases relating to access to genetic resources that occurred after the said provisions came into force (Art. 25d).
