Although the right to science is one of the oldest internationally recognized human rights, for long it suffered from neglect. Few seem to understand what rights and duties it exactly entails. International organizations and States pay little attention to it. There are only few inadequate indicators to measure progress towards its realization. There is also little or no international or national jurisprudence, as the right as such is not litigated. However, at the beginning of the twenty-first century, both international organizations and scholars started developing a new interest in the right to science, moving towards a better understanding of its normative content." "Taking stock of these developments, the book provides an in-depth historical account of the emergence and development of the right to science (Part II) and maps the right to science and its nested rights in international (global and regional) and domestic (constitutional level only) legal instruments (Part III). All of that is necessary precondition to firmly ground the subsequent analysis of the normative content of the right in international practice. In Part IV, the right to science is broken down in twenty-two distinct, but interrelated, rights, grouped in four clusters: 1) the right to scientific progress and to scientific freedom; 2) the right to responsible scientific progress; 3) the right to participate in scientific progress; and 4) the right to benefit from scientific progress." "For each cluster of rights, and for each of the rights contained in each cluster, the book discusses where they are codified and how; their normative content; what limitations States can impose; what corresponding obligations States-and, when relevant, non-State actors-have; and what indicators States and international organizations use, or might use, to track progress towards their implementation." |
