Dialogues on human dignity, rights and justice in a global world
National School of Judicial Training and International Committee on Global Bioethics (ICGB).
The project
The judicial function faces situations in which legal rules, ethical principles, fundamental rights and legitimate interests converge. Scientific and technological advances, social inequalities, changing family relationships, human mobility and the environmental crisis present dilemmas that call for interdisciplinary reflection.
The National School of Judicial Training and the International Committee on Global Bioethics are advancing this project to build bridges between global bioethics and the judicial function, bringing visibility to dilemmas that do not always receive sufficient attention in legal debate.
Through dialogue with specialists from different academic and cultural contexts, the initiative seeks to deepen understanding of these challenges and offer tools for deliberation that complement legal reasoning and judicial decision-making from the perspective of human dignity, human rights and global justice.
Purpose
To promote interdisciplinary reflection and learning among the judicial community and the general public on the main dilemmas of global bioethics, through dialogue with international specialists.
The process
Specialists from different disciplines and academic and cultural contexts will examine contemporary dilemmas in global bioethics and their relevance to justice. Each conference will include a presentation of approximately 60 minutes.
Each presentation will be followed by an open space for questions, comments and deliberation, initially planned for 30 minutes and extendable depending on the speaker’s availability and organisational conditions. The exchange will allow participants to compare perspectives and reflect on tensions between principles, rights and legitimate interests.
With their authors’ permission, the conferences will be recorded and transcribed. Each specialist may review, correct, update and expand their presentation to turn it into an academic chapter. Where appropriate, a Spanish translation will be prepared.
The collective publication aims to preserve and share the specialists’ contributions and provide a reference for judicial training and interdisciplinary research. Its academic coordination will be undertaken by the International Committee on Global Bioethics in collaboration with the National School of Judicial Training.
This is an anticipated outcome; its editing and dissemination will proceed in accordance with the institutional and editorial agreements established.
