Biomedical Research in Developing Countries - UNICRI

The diffusion of GCP Inspectorates and Ethical Review Boards, in developing
countries would help in promoting the respect of international ethical and legal
standards in the research trials with human participants, aligned with the adoption
of strategies to verify the accuracy of clinical trial results and to confront related
ethical, juridical and penal aspects as described above.
The promotion of the international harmonization in the application of the Good
Clinical Practices is important to facilitate the process of their inclusion in the
national legislations; this would also contribute to increase knowledge and foster
awareness of the phenomenon and assist developing countries in strengthening
capacity in dealing with ethical and legal issues of clinical research.
Finally, it is important to increase knowledge and diffusion of the United Nations
and international legal and ethical instruments concerning the harmonization of the
technical, administrative and legislative procedures, for the correct application of the
guidelines and the good practices in the conduct of clinical trials with human
participants through trainings, conferences and awareness campaigns.
