Objetivo The Bonn Guidelines of the Convention on Biological Diversity (2002) and the Human Genome Project Ethics Committee's Statement on Benefit Sharing (2000) encourage the equitable sharing of benefits from genetic resources with local communities. Genomics research undertaken in developing countries should benefit local communities and should be appropriate with regard to local health needs. However, commentators have argued that the Bonn Guidelines are incomplete, ineffectual and premature, due to a missing consensus on essential basics, a criticism, which has also been raised in connection with the Human Genome Project Ethics Committee's Statement on Benefit Sharing. And in most developing countries, indigenous peoples strongly protest about the exploitation of their genetic materials by developing world peoples, despite the existence of these guidelines. The appropriate response to these concerns is two-fold: 1) To establish a platform for international dialogue between significant stakeholders and analysts and thereby create the possibility for genuine consensus building. 2) To structure this dialogue by focusing on one of the main short-comings of current guidelines, namely the insufficient conceptualisation of both 'community' and 'benefits'. To this end, a workshop will be organised by project members from the United Kingdom, South Africa, the Philippines, and Mexico, to bring together representatives from indigenous peoples, ethicists, social scientists, lawyers and geneticists for a cross-cultural reflection on benefit sharing in genomics research.'
