Abstract
Abstract In this chapter we learned how two other international agreements - the Convention on Biological Diversity and the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety - intersect with the IPPC and the SPS Agreement. Specifically, invasive alien species (under the CBD) and LMOs (under the CP) may fall under the scope of the IPPC when those organisms act as plant pests. In cases where either an invasive alien species or an LMO meet the definition for a pest under the IPPC, then IPPCs processes apply, including the application of ISPMs. In particular, the IPPC is recognized by all of the agreements as the authoritative source for guidance on conducting risk analysis for plant pests. Thus, pest risk analysis methods described in ISPMs No. 2 and 11 (and in this text) can also be used to analyse risks associated with invasive alien species and LMOs. The conduct of risk analysis for these organisms supports the aims of the IPPC (protecting plant health), the CBD (protection biological diversity) and the CP (concerned with the safe transboundary movement of LMOs).
