| description | Development and sharing of model approaches to national science policies can enable States Parties to effectively raise awareness about the security dimensions of life science research and to promote research integrity and the responsible use of science, as well as enhancing accountability practices among practitioners and fostering access to emerging capabilities in science and technology. It is also important to incorporate convergent domains of scientific endeavors in biological and particularly computer and information sciences, upon which the life sciences increasingly depend. Indeed, the rapid development of science and technology may be outpacing necessary ethical and regulatory practices. Thus, governments and civil society often struggle to anticipate emerging capabilities and to identify and implement appropriate oversight mechanisms, particularly for activities that occur outside the direct oversight of government programs. However, these efforts are critical for public health and serve as an extremely powerful action to counter the use of biological weapons. |
