Ciencia para la paz y el desarrollo: el caso del Juramento Hipocrático para Científicos
matériels me détournent de mes devoirs. J‘interviendrai pour défendre, s‘il m‘en est donné
l‘occasion, l‘ensemble de ces règles. Que les hommes et mes confrères m‘accordent leur estime
si je suis fidèle à mes promesses. Que je sois déshonoré(e) et méprisé(e) si j‘y manque.“
[79] Compromiso de Científicos e Ingenieros para renunciar a trabajar en armamento de destrucción en masa
(2002)
I pledge never to participate in: the design, development, testing, production, maintenance,
targeting, or use of nuclear, biological, or chemical weapons or their means of delivery; or in
research or engineering that I have reason to believe will be used by others to do so.
[80] Juramento para Biocientíficos (2003)
At the moment of my becoming a member of the bioscience community, I do solemnly declare
that I will respect the value and dignity of life, and conduct myself to honor this profession. I
acknowledge that I have a special responsibility for promoting the welfare of humankind, and
will so behave as to pursue and exercise my bioscience knowledge in an ethical and a socially
responsible way. Never will I use my training to do harm to others or the environment; neither
will I do anything to diminish social justice. Whatever action I take and career I choose, I will
consider their moral implications. Since I realize that only ethically responsible bioscientists
can hope to contribute to peace and security to people, thus promote genuine human flourishing.
I make this declaration whole heartedly and upon my honor.

[82] Juramento Hipocrático para Desarrolladores de Software (2004)
I solemnly pledge, first, to do no harm to the software entrusted to me; to not knowingly adopt
any harmful practice, nor to adopt any practice or tool that I do not fully understand.
With fervor, I promise to abstain from whatever is deleterious and mischievous. I will do all in
my power to expand my skills and understanding, and will maintain and elevate the standard
of my profession. With loyalty will I endeavor to aid the stakeholders, to hold in confidence all
information that comes to my knowledge in the practice of my calling, and to devote myself to
the welfare of the project committed to my care.

catastrophe. Based on that premise of recognition, with pride and a sense of mission of being
directly engaged in the peaceful use of atomic energy, we energetically pursue human welfare
and sustainable development while conserving global and local environments through the use
of atomic energy.
Whenever we conduct atomic energy research, development, utilization, and education, under
the principle of information disclosure, we the members of the AESJ make constant efforts to
enhance our knowledge and skills, to keep pride and responsibility in our work, to keep a spirit
