SANTOS, Lílian. Human Rights and Sustainable Development Goals in the Global Governance of New Technologies for Human Health. Med. ética [online]. 2022, vol.33, n.4, pp.1039-1081.  Epub July 31, 2023. ISSN 2594-2166.  https://doi.org/10.36105/mye.2022v33n4.03.

This article focuses on the role of Human Rights (HR) and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGS) in the global governance of new technologies for human health. The first part addresses governance: the process of governing different issues of collective life, including multiple actors and means. The second part discusses the global governance of new technologies: the need, the feasibility and what it should look like. The third part reflects on the global governance of new technologies for human health, analysing the recent who plans for global governance of human genome editing and artificial intelligence for health. It concludes that good procedure is insufficient for good governance; ethical content is crucial. Special attention to the role of HR and SDGS is recommended. Proactive ethics is proposed throughout the whole process (conceptualisation, design, development, distribution, and use) of new technologies, which requires ethical education for the different stakeholders.

Keywords : technology; global governance; human rights; sustainable development goals.
