Studying the Approach of National Legal Systems in Dealing with Genetically Modified Crops with an Emphasis on Iran's Legal System
Many researches have been done regarding the regulations governing transgenic products in international documents, but the explanation of this issue has not been given much attention from the point of view of the domestic laws of countries. In this article, an attempt has been made to investigate the legal system governing genetically modified crops in the national laws of some countries, with an emphasis on the Iranian law.
This article has been done in a descriptive-analytical way using library resources.

In the law of countries such as Germany, Canada, America and Australia, codified rules have been established in the field of monitoring and controlling the production of genetically modified crops. Also, the study of Iran's laws and regulations regarding transgenic products shows that the main approach is to produce, import, export and consume transgenic products within the framework of national and international laws and regulations. However, Iran's Biosafety Law, as the most important law regarding these products, has flaws and shortcomings that have caused various interpretations and, as a result, the lack of proper implementation of the law.
All countries are facing many challenges in controlling and monitoring transgenic products. The major challenges ahead include things such as advanced laboratory control of shipments of transgenic agricultural and food industries, control of the health of products, especially grains, at the level of consumer markets, monitoring the possible adverse effects of transgenic products in the environment, evaluating transgenic plants produced by researchers in these countries and how to issue licenses in response to requests for the production of transgenic products and monitoring mechanisms for transgenic products. Based on this, more attention and international and national determination in establishing clear and enforceable laws that include prioritizing health and environment and then economic and agricultural growth, for the orderliness and coherence of the rules governing transgenic products are still felt.
