Values inspire, motivate and engage people to discharge obligations or duties... And what is meant by fairness, respect, care and honesty? It is concluded that values can provide excellent guidance and aspiration in the fight against ethics dumping, and are therefore a well-chosen structure for the Global Code of Conduct for Research in Resource-Poor Settings.

the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UN 1948) lists four values in the first sentence: dignity, freedom, justice and peace in the world. The first sentence of the Convention on Biological Diversity (UN 1992) refers to “the intrinsic value of biological diversity and of the ecological, genetic, social, economic, scientific, educational, cultural, recreational and aesthetic values of biological diversity” (emphasis added).
at the national level in the UK, the first item of The Code: Professional Standards of Practice and Behaviour for Nurses, Midwives and Nursing Associates, reads: “Treat people with kindness, respect and compassion” (NMC 2018).
the Declaration of Helsinki (WMA 2013), which speaks of “safety , effectiveness, efficiency, accessibility and quality” in article 6.
It soon became clear that fairness, respect, care and honesty are all lacking, or deficient, whenever ethics dumping 1 occurs, and that a loss of trust in researchers and research itself can result.
First, value can refer to measurability. Value, in this sense of the word, has no relationship to values such as admiration, approval or motivation.
So why were values chosen as the foundation for the GCC rather than standards, principles, virtues or ideals ?
The terms “fairness”, “justice” and “equity” are often used interchangeably. The TRUST consortium chose the term “fairness” in the belief that it would be the most widely understood globally.
Standards, principles, values, virtues and ideals can guide moral action. At the foundation of the GCC are values. Why? For three main reasons:
1. Values inspire action; they motivate people to do things. For instance, when the value of fairness is threatened, people normally respond with action.
2. Values provide the golden middle way between being overly prescriptive and overly aspirational. Standards and principles require too much precision in their formulation and are too prescriptive in international collaborative research, while virtues and ideals are too aspirational in their demands of researchers.
3. Values emerged naturally from the major engagement activities undertaken prior to developing the GCC.
The eradication of ethics dumping requires not only moral guidance but also moral action to counter violations of fairness, respect, care and honesty. The 23 short, accessible articles of the GCC are intended to both guide and inspire researchers to act with fairness, respect, care and honesty.
