The legal leverage of biosecurity

The new technological environment created by digital technologies makes it possible to make breakthrough discoveries in all scientific fields, but especially in biological disciplines. On the one hand, this gives hope for solving many problems, ranging from the treatment of complex diseases to the areas of energy and waste disposal. On the other hand, bioengineering technologies carry serious threats and risks. The article examines the emerging legal mechanisms in the field of biological security and legal aspects of preventing biological threats in the modern world at the national and international level. The author concludes that it is necessary to improve national legislation and the importance of international cooperation in this area.
