International Council for Animal Protection in OECD Programmes

The International Council for Animal Protection in OECD Programmes (ICAPO) is an organization that works to ensure animals used in international testing and research are treated ethically and humanely. It collaborates with the OECD, an international body setting standards for governments, to promote responsible practices. ICAPO aims to improve animal welfare, reduce unnecessary animal testing, and support alternative methods that do not involve animals. Its goal is to balance scientific progress with ethical considerations, helping create guidelines that protect animals while allowing for necessary scientific and regulatory work.
