Social Responsibility and Health
Within the framework of its work programme for 2008-2009, IBC continues its work on the principle of social responsibility and health, in order to complete and finalize the report on this subject.

A working group involving new members of the Committee was established and met at UNESCO Headquarters in Paris from 2 to 4 July 2008.

IBC examined the preliminary results of the working group at its fifteenth (ordinary) session in October 2008 and also had the opportunity to hear comments and opinions from members of the Intergovernmental Bioethics Committee (IGBC) at the joint session of IBC and IGBC in October 2008.

On the basis of the discussions at the 15th session and the exchanges with IGBC, IBC has revised its Draft report on social responsibility and health in March 2009.

The draft report will be submitted to IGBC at its sixth session (Paris, 9-10 July 2009) in the present revised version for additional comments and contributions, which will be taken into account and contribute to an additional revision of the document before its examination and approval at the sixteenth (ordinary) session of IBC (Mexico City, Mexico, November 2009).
