AAAS Scientific Responsibility, Human Rights and Law Program

AAAS Science and Human Rights Coalition

Area of Activity I: Welfare of Scientists

We aim to expand participation and effectiveness of scientific and engineering organizations in defending the human rights of colleagues at home and around the world by increasing awareness and implementation of human rights frameworks that protect scientists and engineers.

Current Projects
Human Rights for Scientists

Facilitate information sharing on existing cases of persecuted scientists, engineers and health professionals through the Alert Network (a past project of the working group), including developing templates and other tools that support collaborative action across the Coalition.

Guide on Connecting Article 15 and Scientific Freedom

Develop a technical guide aimed at both scientific and engineering associations as well as human rights organizations to assist them in using the international and regional human rights mechanisms and frameworks to protect scientific freedom (Art. 15(3), ICESCR).

Past Projects
Primer on Scientific Freedom and Human Rights
Drawing from existing practices in the field, this guide aims to assist scientific, engineering and health associations to respond to threats to and violations of the rights of their colleagues.
Alert Network

The Alert Network is an interactive web platform hosted by the American Chemical Society that is used to engage Coalition members in advocacy on cases involving threats to, and the violation of, the human rights of scientists, engineers and health professionals. Sign up.
