Activists dressed as Tony Blair and Bill Clinton dance in front of the UN office in Vienna to the sounds of the Danube Walzer. Their weird dance partners are a maize-monster and a fish tomato (an interbreeding of fish and tomato). After the dance the two statesmen went asleep with the genetically mutilated creatures. The banners read "Stop GMOs! Biosafety Now!" and "Stop playing dirty games!".In original language:Protest zum Auftakt der Biosafety-Verhandlungen in WienZu den Klängen des Donauwalzers tanzen Bill Clinton und Tony Blair vor den Toren der Wiener UNO-City. Ihre bizarren Tanzpartner: ein Maismonster und eine Fisch-Tomate (Kreuzung aus Fisch und Tomate). Nach dem Walzer legten sich die beiden Staatsmänner mit den Gentech-Kreaturen ins Bett. Greenpeace-Transparente verlangten "Stop playing dirty games" und "Stop GMOs - Biosafety now!" Greenpeace macht mit dieser Aktion darauf aufmerksam, daß es bei den beginnenden Biosafety-Verhandlungen um internationale Regeln zum weltweiten Schutz vor solchen Gentech-Kreaturen geht. Im Rahmen des "Übereinkommens zum Schutz der biologischen Vielfalt" (Biodiversity Convention) soll das Biosafety Protokoll eine völkerrechtliche Basis in erster Linie zum Schutz vor sogenannten GMOs (Gentechnisch Modifizierte Organismen) schaffen – eine Art Weltgentechnikgesetz. Sowohl Clinton als auch Blair haben in der Vergangenheit immer wieder maßgeblich zum Scheitern einer solchen weltweiten Regelung beigetragen.Locations:Alpine Countries-Austria-Europe-ViennaDate:15 Sep, 1999Credit:© Greenpeace / Waltraud GeierMaximum size:3692px X 2534pxKeywords:Actions and protests-Banners-Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD)-Day-Effigies-Genetic engineering-Greenpeace activists-KWCI (GPI)-Meetings-Outdoors-Political leaders-SAGE (campaign title)-Street theatre actions-Theatrical costumes-Three people-United Nations (UN)Shoot:GE Protest at Biosafety Protocol in ViennaGreenpeace protest against genetic engineering at the opening of the Biosafety Protocol negotiations in front the United Nations building in Vienna. With this action Greenpeace wants to indicate, that the biosafety proceedings concern international rules for the worldwide protection of such GM creatures. The biodiversity convention should bring up a protection against GMOs (genetically mutilated organisms) – a sort of world - genetic engineering – law. Clinton as well as Blair contributed in the past significant to a failure of such worldwide settlements.
