Résumé
Towards a Law on Biological Diversity. Owing to the total ineffectiveness of environmental law, we must devise a law on biological diversity. The task is a difficult one. Treating the environment (land, sea and air) as a subject of law flies in the face of ail recent legal thinking, according to which man is the only possible subject of law. The regulations stemming from the biological diversity charter need to cover four basic areas in order to be coherent : the environment, living things, and the space as well as the time of biological evolution which would provide a basis for establishing much longer periods of responsibility. The drafting of this law, far from being a matter for experts alone, raises issues of political responsibility that must be faced in the open in accordance with traditional democratic procedures.
