The Human Rights Implications of Tampering with Our DNA

Like Willem Van Aardt, Peter Fam's presentation focused on the international context, observing that all countries represented on the panel had covenanted into seven key UN agreements that enshrine human rights.

“We are here to consider the human rights implications of the well of humanity being tempered with and possibly poisoned.”

In addition to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights mentioned previously, he emphasised a lesser-known treaty, the Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights, which is the most relevant modern human rights treaty for the issues under discussion, as it enshrines the general principles of bioethics.

It is hard to believe that it has taken less than four years for the world to turn away from these agreements that enshrine some of the very best values and intentions of the human family.

As Peter observed, this Declaration has been completely bypassed and ignored by the profit-hungry transnational pharmaceutical corporations responsible for this iatrogenic catastrophe, and by the governments who have guaranteed their indemnity.
