Discussions about "biotech labeling", particularly the public debate, often do not involve any definitions or explanations of what actually is covered or required, either in terms of "biotech" or "labeling". Both words can describe a variety of different technologies or label language. In a definitional sense, perhaps in contrast to consumer perception, the word "biotechnology" is a collective term encompassing a number of technologies, some old, others new (Korwek, 1997). The Office of Technology Assessment (OTA, 1984) defined it as processes using living organisms or parts thereof to make or modify products, to improve plants, animals, or to develop microorganisms for specific uses. This definition and others make it clear that the term "biotechnology" can be broad, encompassing a variety of traditional technologies and products thereof, such as bread, cheese, and hybrid corn, as well as newer genetic technologies, such as recombinant DNA (rDNA) techniques. 1, record 10, English, - biotech%20labelling

The outlawry of war .... Although the many attempts which have been made in the past and are still being made at present to prevent war in the future do not strictly belong to the subject of the laws of war, I can hardly pass them by in complete silence. (...) Arbitration, judicial settlement and other procedures may help to substitute the peaceful solution of disputes for a resort to war. A world-wide international organization may contain the outbreak of hostilities or arrest them. Aggressive nations have been demilitarized. Regional demilitarization, agreed upon by multilateral treaties, can serve as an obstacle to the use of military force. 1, record 25, English, - outlawry%20of%20war
