Özet: Biotechnology techniques, applications, and products have beneficial effects on human health, the environment, and biodiversity. However, there are also possible risks that may cause harm. To ensure biosafety, the activities in this field have been tried to be built on a legal basis by the countries. In this direction, Biosafety Law No. 5977 was adopted in our country in 2010. Although the law is essentially in line with the requirements of the Cartagena Biosafety Protocol and the EU Directives, it has been seen that some provisions are contradictory, move away from the precautionary principle, and the expressions used need to be fully understood and are discussed in the doctrine. In our study after discussing the international and national regulations related to biosafety, it is aimed to evaluate the controversial points in practice and doctrine and to present suggestions regarding the deficiencies in the Law, by emphasizing the fundamental principles and legal liability provisions within the scope of Biosafety Law No. 5977.
