COMEST
The World Commission on the Ethics of Scientific Knowledge and Technology COMEST* is an advisory body and forum of reflection composed of 18 independent experts. The Commission is mandated to formulate ethical principles that could provide decision-makers with criteria that extend beyond purely economic considerations.
Since its inception by UNESCO in 1998, the functioning of COMEST has been guided by its Statutes adopted by the UNESCO Executive Board at its 154th session.

*Acronym taken from the French name 'Commission mondiale d’éthique des connaissances scientifiques
et des technologies'.
