NEW YORK - June 1, 2011 - New threats by Monsanto have led to the filing of an amended complaint
(http://www.pubpat.org/assets/files/seed/OSGATA-v-Monsanto-Complaint.pdf ) by the Public Patent Foundation (PUBPAT) in its suit on behalf of family farmers, small and family owned seed businesses, and organic agricultural organizations challenging Monsanto's patents on genetically modified seed.

For details, refer to http://www.planttreaty.org/farmers_en.htm and http://www.farmersrights.org/ for several recent reports, including
The 2010 Global Consultations on Farmers' Rights: Results from an Email-based Survey, by Regine Andersen and Tone Winge, FNI Report 2/2011.
From this consultation it appears that the prime concern among most participants was the need for guidance, support and capacity building to develop or adjust national legislation, policies, strategies and programs for the realization of Farmers' Rights.

See Bali Seed Declaration (March 16,2011) by La Via Campesina for an explanation of the unbalanced impacts of Article 9.2: most developing country governments are not in the position to protect and respect their Farmers' Rights.
