The European Convention on Human Rights and Biomedicine (ECHRBmed)
What is this about?
A legally binding instrument that aims to protect human rights within biomedicine. Focusing on a variety of topics (such as genetics, biomedical research, embryo experimentation, among others), this declaration is framed in the previous European Convention of Human Rights, which provided a suitable framework for those rights relevant in the medical discipline.
Why is this important?
Bioethics and biolaw are two matters very much controversial between states since they are related to the core beliefs of each society. Therefore the ECHRBmed serves as a unifying point, providing basic and general principles.
