| Abstract | This chapter discusses how UNESCO has worked on human rights in relation to science, and on science in relation to human rights with emphasis on standard-setting. It attempts to foreground the core approaches underpinning these efforts; to highlight the evolution in the Organization’s thinking; and to show to what extent these are aligned with and promote the advancement of the right to enjoy the benefits of scientific progress as included in human rights instruments, in particular the dimensions of scientific freedom, protection against harm, benefit sharing, and international cooperation. |
