WHOs objective, as set out in its Constitution, is the attainment by all peoples of the highest possible level of health. Health is defined in WHOs Constitution as a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity疾病. WHO is governed by 193 Member States.

It allows selected individual genes to be transferred from one organism into another, also between non-related species. The technology is often called “modern biotechnology” or “gene technology”, sometimes also “recombinant DNA technology” or “genetic engineering”. Such methods are used to create GM plants – which are then used to grow GM food crops. Codex Alimentarius Commission CAC 食品法典委员会 The Codex Alimentarius Commission was created in 1963 by FAO and WHO to develop food standards, guidelines and related texts such as codes of practice under the Joint FAO/WHO Food Standards Programme.
