is the Subsidiary Body on Scientific, Technical and Technological Advice of the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity.

At the 10 ^th SBSTTA meeting in February 2005 in Bangkok, a leaked memo exposed that the Canadian government was preparing to overturn the de facto moratorium on Terminator. In the end, the moratorium remained because of the interventions of other governments and because of protest from around the world. SBSTTA is important because this body discusses the science of Terminator and can request more research into a technology that should be banned.
