SHS: Bioethics

In an era of rapid globalization, UNESCO's Regional Unit for Social and Human Science in the Asia-Pacific (RUSHSAP) aims to develop and promote social policies which uphold peace, human rights, democratic governance and tolerance. To achieve this goal, social policy activities must provide opportunities and empowerment for all, particularly during this period of major social, political, economic and cultural change. The overall objective is to create a grass-roots, mass movement throughout the Asia-Pacific region which shares this aim and helps bring it to fulfilment.

RUSHSAP's mission and programmes reflect all aspects of social concern, including poverty alleviation, migration, management of water resources, governance, youth, dissemination of information, the ethics of science and technology, bioethics, human security, and research and training.
