Biosafety and Biosecurity as Fundamental Components of Biological Non-Proliferation and Pillars of International Health Security

David Macedo

The risk of terrorist or malicious acquisition of deadly pathogens or accidental release of a biological agent has decreased, and the safety of laboratory workers has increased as a result of increased international efforts to improve awareness of modern practices and concerns regarding the safe pursuit of life sciences research. Our goal is to draw attention to the ways in which the requirements for biosafety and biosecurity in the revised International Health Regulations of the World Health Organization, the Biological Weapons Convention, and Resolution 1540 of the United Nations Security Council overlap. This will help practitioners and policymakers better understand the requirements and make the most of the national resources used to comply with international mandates. These international instruments' significance as essential pillars of international health security and cross-cutting components of biological nonproliferation is emphasized by the wide range of their objectives, which are connected by the common thread of biosafety and biosecurity.
