Abstract

This chapter considers the DSI debates from an African perspective. The chapter reviews regional instruments and the role that the African Union plays in implementing international obligations and refining legal instruments to accommodate new emerging issues, such as DSI. The chapter concludes that the wide-ranging economic, ethical, cultural and social implications, alongside the complex realities of the ABS systems, mean the African Union could practically facilitate the institution of legislative, regulatory, administrative and policy measures for ABS and DSI at national and sub-regional levels in Africa, in harmony with macro-level policy decisions taken in ABS global fora.
