Biological Crime and its Impact on Human Rights in Accordance with International Law and Domestic Law

Crime is not an emerging phenomenon because it existed with the creation of man on earth. Cain did not kill his brother except for this reason. From then until today, human beings have seen many types of crimes. Biological crimes are the most important and most serious of these crimes, which are dangerous for living organisms in general and for humans and the environment in particular.

Human society today suffers greatly from serious human rights violations of which biological crime is a part. Various human rights laws have been recognized both internationally and domestically, and this type of crime is so important that, laws have been enacted to address (treat) and control it, both domestically and internationally. However, these treatments were not commensurate with the high risk of biological crime, and for this reason, research into these crimes became a necessity for me to choose as the subject of this research.

This research achieved important results:

International treaties and domestic law have attached great importance to biological crimes, especially in the field of prohibiting the development and storage of tools required for such crimes. The Geneva Convention of 1925 prohibited the use of such tools, and in addition to this agreement, the use of biological tools was banned in 1972, as many domestic laws did.

International treaties and domestic laws in many international legal texts, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and others which have been two most important International Covenants, have been interested in the protection of human rights.
