Science & human rights

In accordance with the ICSU Principle of the Universality of Science, the Committee on Freedom and Responsibility in the conduct of Science (CFRS) promotes the free and responsible practice of science for the advancement of human and environmental well-being. For this reason, the Committee becomes involved in cases where an individual faces problems as a result of the conduct and/or practice of science. The document describing CFRS’s role in providing assistance for individual cases is available under Protection of the rights of scientists.

This engagement is underpinned by international human rights instruments relevant to science and scientists. A compilation of relevant legal texts is provided under Human rights documentation.
