This right to science also requires state parties to develop and disseminate science, to respect the freedom of scientific research, and to recognize the benefits of international contacts and co-operation in the scientific field. The right to science has never been more important. Even before the COVID-19 health crisis, it was evident that people around the world increasingly rely on science and technology in almost every sphere of their lives from the development of medicines and the treatment of diseases, to transport, agriculture, and the facilitation of global communication. This is reflected in the United Nations 2030 Agenda with its 17 Sustainable Development Goals that emphasize the importance of science and technology for sustainable development. At the same time, however, the value of science has been under attack, with some raising alarm at the emergence of "post-truth" societies. "Dual use" and unintended, because often unforeseen, consequences of emerging technologies are also perceived to be a serious risk. The important role played by science and technology and the potential for dual use makes it imperative to assess scientific research and its products not only on their scientific, but also on their human rights merits. In Science as a Cultural Human Right, Helle Porsdam assesses the state of the field, and argues robustly for the role of the right to science now and in the future. The book analyzes the legal stature of this right, the potential consequences of not establishing it as fundamental, and connects the right to science tightly to global cultural rights. It offers the basis for defending the free and responsible practice of science and ensuring that its benefits are spread globally"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Freedom of information. 650 0 $a Science $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Science and law. 650 0 $a Human rights. 650 2 $a Access to Information $0 (DNLM)D022126 650 2 $a Human Rights $0 (DNLM)D006806 651 6 $a Angleterre $x Histoire religieuse $y 449-1066. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0081819 651 6 $a Angleterre $x Histoire religieuse $y 1066-1485. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0070366 650 6 $a Liberte d'information. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0003581 650 6 $a Sciences $x Aspect social. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0021253 650 6 $a Sciences et droit. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0021142 650 6 $a Droits de l'homme (Droit international) $0 (CaQQLa)201-0065399 650 7 $a Freedom of information. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00934017 650 7 $a Human rights. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00963285 650 7 $a Science and law. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01108529 650 7 $a Science $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01108360 651 7 $a England. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01219920 648 7 $a 449-1485 $2 fast 655 7 $a Church history. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411629 830 0 $a Pennsylvania studies in human rights. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231019024513.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=19209E5C803411ED944134D030ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
