Droit de l’environnement et des ressources naturelles : le cas de la République démocratique du Congo

Par la richesse de ses forêts, de ses fleuves, de ses gisements d’or, de cobalt et de cuivre, ainsi que de son pétrole, de son gaz, de ses terres agricoles et de sa population, la RDC compte parmi les pays les plus dotés en ressources naturelles et humaines, tout en demeurant paradoxalement pauvre. Le droit joue un rôle clef pour l’utilisation de ces ressources d’une manière responsable, équitable, juste et transparente. Cet ouvrage collectif, réunissant dix-neuf experts de haut niveau, aborde de multiples dimensions juridiques et sociales de la gestion des ressources – du droit minier, entrepreneurial, commercial et environnemental aux droits de l’homme et aux enjeux sociétaux et éthiques. Il analyse les acteurs locaux comme internationaux, des communautés de base aux instances globales. Un excellent ouvrage pour les étudiants, les juristes comme pour les politiciens, le secteur privé et la communauté internationale. Un mélange en l’honneur du Professeur Garry Sakata Moke Tawab

Pathways to inclusion : advancing civil society’s role in AI governance : evidence from and for the global majority

Exists also in Spanish under the title:Caminos hacia la inclusión : fortaleciendo el rol de la sociedad civil en la gobernanza de la inteligencia artificial : evidencia de y para la mayoría gobal.Artificial Intelligence is rapidly reshaping societies and the power to define its direction remains concentrated. The governance of AI which encompasses who sets the rules, whose values are embedded, and whose interests are protected is still largely steered by a small set of influential actors. Civil society, especially from regions across the Global Majority, is underrepresented in fora where critical decisions are made. This policy brief argues that civil society, rooted in communities and accountable to the public interest, is uniquely positioned to act as the counterbalance AI needs to benefit all of humanity by bringing to light the perspective of those that are most affected by AI systems. This policy brief investigates the role of civil society on AI Governance with particular attention to the Global Majority. The research question explores whether civil society serves as an effective counterbalance to concentrated power in the AI ecosystem to ensure AI systems reflect diverse public interests and values. Additionally, the brief seeks to identify which barriers hinder the participation of underrepresented civil society actors in setting the agenda for and participating in AI governance fora. On top of that, the brief outlines the opportunities for civil society’s entry points in AI Governance and key mechanisms to enable more inclusive and impactful engagement. The analysis draws on desk research and a comparative review of recent multistakeholder initiatives in global AI governance. Additionally, leveraging Globethics’ regional centers across the Global Majority, this research incorporates direct input from civil society networks through a survey and semi-structured online focus groups and interviews with civil society representatives from Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean, and South and Southeast Asia. These dialogues surface context-specific challenges and opportunities, offering grounded and regionally informed inputs. Together, these insights inform a set of recommendations aimed at civil society actors, policymakers, and international organizations to strengthen the meaningful participation of civil society in AI governance. This policy brief contributes to the broader conversation on inclusive AI governance for the successful implementation of the UNESCO Recommendation on the Ethics of AI and the Global Digital Compact

Anti-corruption efforts of churches need a reset

First published in 2003 under the title Continue Fighting Corruption: Experiences and Tasks of Churches and Development Agencies (Berne: Bread for All). This work was later revised and republished in 2010 as Corruption-free churches are possible: experiences, values, solutions (ISBN 9782940428076). A further edition followed in 2017 under the title Corruption-free religions are possible (ISBN 9782889314225).Trust in institutions is waning across the globe, whether in governments, the judiciary, business, the media, or civil society - including religious and educational bodies. A key factor is the persistent prevalence of corruption within many institutions. Restoring trust demands a steadfast commitment to integrity, transparency, responsibility, and accountability. This book explores the Integrity Systems of Christian churches, examining the structures, realities, and both theological and political root causes of integrity failures. It presents insights and experiences from Church Integrity Systems across denominations and continents, offering biblical, ecclesiological, and ethical guidance. It includes 50 strategic recommendations with a wealth of codes of conduct, standards, and checklists. It is a valuable and practical handbook for believers and church leaders dedicated to upholding the integrity and credibility of their institutions

Blue ethics : ethical perspectives on sustainable, fair water resources use and management

Translation of: Éthique de l’eau : pour un usage et une gestion justes et durables des ressources en eauFor many policy makers, urban managers, water experts, technicians or activists, ethical perspectives in water management are not important or do not bring any added value. A debate seems to be locked between those stressing mainly the right of access to water for all and those who cannot go beyond economic realism. The sustainable use of a resource that becomes under growing pressure, in terms of extraction, allocation and recycling looks as a technical issue, not to say a technocratic one. This collective book claims the opposite. The many issues faced by the access to water as well as the sustainable use of the resource rely on open negotiations, settling conflicts, tariffs structure while expanding delivery and managing fairly water' scarcity in all these processes, ethical values do matter.بالنسبة لكثير من صانعي السياسات، أو مديري المناطق الحضرية، أو خبراء المياه، أو التقنيين، أو النشطاء، لا تحظى الأبعاد الأخلاقية لإدارة المياه بأهمية تُُذكر، أو لا تُُعتبر أنها لا تضيف أي قيمة حقيقية. ويبدو أن النقاش محصور بين مََن يشددون على حق الجميع في الحصول على المياه، وبين مََن لا يستطيعون تجاوز منطق الواقعية الاقتصادية. ويُُنظر إلى الاستخدام المستدام لمورد يرزح تحت ضغوط متزايدة من حيث الاستخراج، والتخصيص، وإعادة التدوير، باعتباره مسألة تقنية، بل وربما مسألة تكنوقراطية. غير أن هذا الكتاب الجماعي يتبنى موقفًًا مغايرًًا تمامًًا. فالمشكلات العديدة المرتبطة بالحصول على المياه، والاستخدام المستدام لهذا المورد، تعتمد على مفاوضات منفتحة، وتسوية النزاعات، وهيكلة التعرفة، بموازاة توسيع نطاق عملية التوزيع، والإدارة العادلة لشحّّ المياه. وفي جميع هذه العمليات، تبقى القيم الأخلاقية ذات أهمية حقيقية

Intercultural dialogue and engagement for sustainable climate action : applied research project 2024-2025

This report was co-authored by Nora Lucía Caro Cabanillas, Jahnavi Eluru, Sojeong Kim, and Ana Landeta Fernández as part of a research partnership between Globethics and the Geneva Graduate Institute (IHEID)."...this research explores how intercultural dialogue (ICD) can contribute to sustainable climate action by amplifying ethical narratives, enabling solidarity, and integrating marginalized voices into climate discourse. It responds to critiques that dominant models - rooted in scientific rationalism and Western liberalism - overlook traditional knowledge, Indigenous frameworks, and spiritual worldviews (Sun & Shi, 2024; Arthur, 2011). By foregrounding dialogue as a method of knowledge co-production and ethical engagement, this study aims to bridge the gap between global policy frameworks and culturally rooted action".

Global Ethics Forum 2024 : ethical leadership for a re-envisioned future : policy report

The Global Ethics Forum (GEF) 2024, held from 2 to 4 September 2024 at the Geneva Maison de la Paix, marked a significant relaunch of a globally recognised platform for ethical dialogue and action. Under the theme “Re-envisioning the Future in an Ethical Multistakeholder Perspective," the forum convened over 600 participants, including 78 speakers and 32 knowledge partners from 34 countries and 6 continents. The primary purpose of the forum is to inspire ethical leadership and provide a safe space for multistakeholder and intercultural dialogue. The event facilitated critical discussions on ethical leadership, innovative solutions, and policy recommendations to address global challenges. Through these discussions, the forum advanced policy recommendations that amplified the voices of underrepresented groups and set a global agenda that integrates ethics as a cornerstone for peace, governance, and technological innovation
