International Ethical Guidelines

International Ethical Guidelines are principles designed to ensure that research involving human participants is conducted responsibly and ethically across different countries. These guidelines promote respect for individuals, informed consent, and the safeguarding of participants' rights and well-being. They aim to prevent harm, ensure fairness, and enhance communication in scientific research. Developed by organizations like the World Health Organization, these guidelines help researchers navigate ethical challenges, ensuring that studies are conducted with integrity and in a way that respects cultural differences and local norms.
