Use of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in agriculture and food has a great economic potential but it poses various important social and ethical issues such as loss of biological diversity, threat to economical growth of developing countries, threat of independence of farmers and violation to individual precautions for health protection, moral and religious principles.With a sustainable perspective, this paper deals with the possibilities of frame of law and ethic in these matters. Labelling and identification of GMOs in foods, separated commercial channels for ordinary agricultural products and those from modern biotechnology, are presented as the basis of a growing law. The adoption of the precautionary principle in the Protocol on biosafety leads to a clear labelling of GMOs. But the real scope of the precautionary principle will be known after the Conference of the Parties to this Protocol take the decision on the detailed requirements for this purpose no later than two years after the entry into force of this Protocol.
