“…and Swartz 2019). While bioethics scholars have recently argued to reject simplistic notions of a Minority/Majority World, East/West dichotomy (Bhakuni 2022;Nie and Fitzgerald 2021), it is clear that ethical guidelines, based largely on bioethics and developed in Minority World contexts, produce particular spaces and outcomes, which may not be translatable and applicable in other sociocultural contexts (Abebe and Bessell 2014). We wish to emphasise that this paper is not a critique of existing institutionalised ethics procedures, as they have the capacity to offer constructive professional dialogue.…”

While institutional ethical procedures are critically important, the relevance and applicability of these procedures on the ground create tensions that are sometimes at odds with what is considered 'ethical'. In this paper, we reflect on the dissonances between formal institutional ethics procedures and community-based research practices by drawing on our experiences of a project involving co-production with young people in India and Brazil. The project is an international collaboration between partners from both Majority and Minority World contexts, across universities, community organisations and government bodies. Young people were involved in advisory and co-researcher capacities, and played a vital role advising the project team, conducting research projects, and developing engagement and advocacy strategies. The project was planned prior to, but started during, the Covid-19 pandemic, and therefore required methodological adjustments.In this paper, we situate the role of institutional ethics procedures to reflect on the tensions and power imbalances in: (1) research co-production with young people, (2) collaborative crosscountry research with partners, as well as considering (3) the relevance of ethical guidelines in different research contexts. We problematise the top-down nature of these procedures, and highlight the importance of reflexivity, conversations, and relationships in ethics. With growing research in the Majority world (funded by the Minority world), there is an urgent need to recognise and build on the expertise of experienced local civic society organisations in ethical research and safeguarding, to work in genuine, respectful partnership with those we do research with.

“…Analysing the problems of globalisation of bioethics, Bhakuni (2022) gives the examples of: western ideals of individualism and self-reliance which have little purchase in the Filipino culture; ethical principles of western countries require all adults to be the primary decision makers of their participation, which may not be applicable in the Indian system, etc. If it is accepted as an axiom that the information ethics of the future must be based on globalisation and tolerance, then any opposing opinion must be accepted with respect, because it is part of the worldview of the other person, his selfawareness.…”

Aims: The purpose of the study is a philosophical analysis of the information ethics of the future features in order to find ways of use and quality improvement of the information space. For this purpose, it is necessary to carry out an analysis of the conceptual vision of information ethics in the latest philosophical and other studies. Characteristics of the main peculiarities of information ethics as a philosophical and sociocultural phenomenon are defined. Ways of strengthening information ethics in the information space are described. Forecasting of trends in the development of information ethics for the next decade has been carried out. Methodology: The main methodology of research is empirical, particularly, analytical. In order to highlight aspects of the research problem, scientific methods of induction, deduction, generalisation, abstraction, synthesis and modelling were used. Results: Philosophical analysis of information ethics made it possible to make a forecast of the ethical development of humanity in the context of further globalisation and virtualisation of the cultural space. Ethical egoism carries the main resources for humanity's choice in favour of ethics. Scientific Novelty: Consideration of the characteristics of ethical ethics, which is at the "point of bifurcation" due to the annihilation of humanity, made it possible to outline the paths of its future progress. These paths are: awareness of the advantages of ethics; popularisation of positive ethical scenarios; creation of ethical codes of information communities; development of ethics of artificial intelligence; integration of traditional ethics and the needs of the information age. Conclusions: Pragmatism, utilitarianism and ethical egoism will become the main trends in the use of certain ethical scenarios. This will not lead to the degradation of humanity only if the quality of self-interests is raised to the stage when the public good is perceived as part of the personal one.

One Health Ethics and the Ethics of Zoonoses: A Silent Call for Global Action

This paper presents a critical review of key issues related to the emergence of new networks for the spread of zoonotic diseases amid the mass extinction of species. Zoonotic and infectious diseases account for approximately 70% of new and existing diseases affecting humans and animals. The initial section argues that the term “zoonoses” should not be confined to single-cause events within veterinary medicine. Instead, zoonoses should be viewed as complex, systemic phenomena shaped by interrelated factors, including environmental, sociocultural, and economic elements, influenced by anthropogenic climate change. The second section presents bioethical principles and potential strategies for those engaged in zoonotic disease prevention. The third section uses the slaughter of animals in disaster settings as a case study to illustrate the need for further clarification of normative and interspecies justice conflicts in One Health ethics. This section concludes with an outlook on “zoonoethics”. Section four develops the analysis of the interlinked elements that trigger zoonoses and examines antimicrobial resistance (AMR) from an ethical and political standpoint, concluding with policy recommendations for addressing AMR. Section five offers a critical reflection, integrating contributions from zoonoethics, human ecology, and the ecotheological turn. Finally, section six concludes with a call to action and policy recommendations for an inclusive, intercultural, and gender-sensitive One Health approach.
