Our Purpose

International Committee on Global Bioethics

An independent international initiative for global bioethics, human rights, and global justice.

The International Committee on Global Bioethics (ICGB) is an interdisciplinary and international space dedicated to the analysis, deliberation, and study of contemporary ethical challenges arising in contexts of global interdependence. Its work is oriented toward promoting rigorous and pluralistic ethical approaches to issues related to human dignity, global justice, environmental sustainability, technological transformations, structural inequalities, and conditions of vulnerability.

Academic Integrity and Methodological Rigor

We promote the production of knowledge with scientific rigor, transparency, and ethical responsibility, strengthening interdisciplinary approaches oriented toward the common good and global justice.

Human Dignity, Human Rights, and Social Justice

We defend human dignity as the foundation of all ethical deliberation, promoting approaches centered on human rights, equity, and the protection of vulnerable populations.

Global and Interdisciplinary Perspective

We address contemporary challenges from a global and interdisciplinary vision, integrating diverse disciplines, cultural contexts, and social perspectives to build inclusive and sustainable ethical responses.

Training and Education in Global Bioethics

We promote spaces for training and critical reflection aimed at strengthening ethical capacities, global citizenship, and social commitment in the face of contemporary challenges.

Global Responsibility and Sustainability

We promote ethical approaches committed to environmental sustainability, intergenerational responsibility, and integral human development, considering the social and ecological impacts of collective decisions.

Interculturality, Biocultural Rights, and Global Justice

We foster intercultural dialogue, recognition of diversity, and respect for biocultural rights, promoting ethical perspectives sensitive to structural inequalities, local knowledge, and multiple forms of relationship between communities, territories, and life.

OUR AREAS OF WORK

Bioethics for the Challenges of an Interdependent World

The Committee examines major contemporary challenges through four areas of work connecting human rights, health, education, and food systems. Each area brings together different disciplines, experiences, and regions to develop responses grounded in global bioethics.

Four fields of reflection, one shared vision: protecting dignity, life, and our common future.

Biopolitics and Human Rights

How do structures of power affect life, dignity, and human rights?

This area examines global bioethical dilemmas through the perspectives of biopolitics, human rights, and social justice, with particular attention to inequality, vulnerability, human mobility, and public decisions affecting life.
