What it requires

  • Investigate and determine a person's genetic identity only with that person's prior and informed consent or, failing that, the consent of whoever must supply the person's will in accordance with the law (Article 9); courts keep their powers in the cases and form the law establishes.

Logging duty

Article 9 sets a consent rule for investigating and determining genetic identity. It names no log or record, and no audit, access party or retention period. The article carries no territorial clause, so the hook is empty.
