The International Bioethics Committee (IBC) is a group established by UNESCO to advise on ethical issues related to health, medicine, and the life sciences. Composed of experts from around the world, its role is to develop guidelines and recommendations that help ensure scientific and medical research respect human rights, dignity, and moral values. The IBC promotes international discussion on bioethics topics such as genetics, biotechnology, and healthcare, fostering cooperation and establishing global standards to address ethical challenges in advances affecting human life and well-being.
