Documents of the ATCM Relevant to Bioprospecting
The Antarctic Treaty Secretariat was established in 2004 to:
- Support the Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting (ATCM) and the Committee for Environmental Protection (CEP);
- Promote the official information exchange between the Parties of the Antarctic Treaty;
- Collect, maintain and publish the records of the ATCM and the CEP; and
- Provide information on the Antarctic Treaty system.
