Proposed Principles for International Bioethics Conferencing: Anti-Discriminatory, Global, and Inclusive

<p dir="ltr">This paper opens a critical conversation about the ethics of international bioethics conferencing and proposes principles that commit to being anti-discriminatory, global, and inclusive. We launch this conversation in the Section, <a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/15265161.2023.2232748" target="_blank">Case Study</a>, with a case example involving the International Association of Bioethics’ (IAB’s) selection of Qatar to host the 2024 World Congress of Bioethics. IAB’s choice of Qatar sparked controversy. We believe it also may reveal deeper issues of Islamophobia in bioethics. The Section, <a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/15265161.2023.2232748" target="_blank">Principles for International Bioethics Conferencing</a>, sets forth and defends proposed principles for international bioethics conferencing. The Section, <a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/15265161.2023.2232748" target="_blank">Applying Principles to Site Selection</a> applies the proposed principles to the case example. The Section, <a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/15265161.2023.2232748" target="_blank">Applying Principles Beyond Site Selection</a> addresses other applications of the proposed principles. The Section, <a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/15265161.2023.2232748" target="_blank">Objections</a> responds to objections. We close (in the Section, <a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/15265161.2023.2232748" target="_blank">Conclusion</a>) by calling for a wider discussion of our proposed principles.</p><h2>Other Information</h2><p dir="ltr">Published in: The American Journal of Bioethics<br>License: <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" target="_blank">http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/</a><br>See article on publisher's website: <a href="https://dx.doi.org/10.1080/15265161.2023.2232748" target="_blank">https://dx.doi.org/10.1080/15265161.2023.2232748</a></p>
