This article provides a theoretical and legal analysis of the emerging biosecurity law as a new legal framework. The relevance of distinguishing biosecurity law is justified by the increase in biological risks, the development of biotechnology, and the emergence of fundamentally new threats. The core of the research focuses on defining and differentiating the subject matter of biosecurity law. An important aspect of the work is a systematic analysis of the relationship between biosecurity law and other branches of law: constitutional, environmental, administrative, criminal, and civil law. Special attention is paid to the correlation between biosecurity law and another emerging legal framework – biolaw. The article formulates the necessity for the development of biosecurity law along two main vectors: expanding the scope of regulation and deepening cross-sectoral integration.
