Justice and the Human Development Approach to International Research

Abstract: The debate over when medical research may be performed in developing countries has steered clear of the broad issues of social justice in favor of what seem more tractable, practical issues. A better approach will reframe the question of justice in international research in a way that makes explicit the links between medical research, the social determinants of health, and global justice.

“…At the other end of the spectrum, Alex John London proposes a macro-level approach to benefits that embraces background issues of exploitation and oppression and tries to develop a means by which benefits may contribute to broad goals of social justice (London, 2005). London is critical of the Fair Benefits Framework, arguing that by ignoring the larger issues of social justice, it eliminates concern for historical grievances and ongoing social, political, and economic forces that perpetuate poverty and ill health.…”

“…Appropriate goals include health care interventions as well as capacity building efforts to meet these needs. London claims that researchers are uniquely positioned to "investigate ways of filling the gaps between a community's health needs and the capability of its social institutions to meet those needs" (London, 2005, p. 34). As such, ethical researchers must anticipate in their protocols what kinds of research will most effectively address local needs, and how research benefits can best contribute to the larger goals of human and community development.…”

“…No bastaría un abordaje desde la justicia retributiva propia de las obligaciones entre contratantes, o la justicia distributiva pensada desde principios imparciales de repartición de bienes, pero que poco toman en cuenta las tan disímbolas realidades que pueden afectar a los interesados. Se ha señalado que la mayoría de la literatura en bioética sobre el tema parte de estos abordajes, y se da así origen a pronunciamientos minimalistas (Macklin, 2004;London, 2005). En el caso de la justicia internacional o global, los contextos entre los distintos países son tan diversos y la diferencia de poder es tan desventajosa, que requiere una manera alternativa de pensar la justicia en vistas a que se evite lo más posible el conflicto de interés.…”

“…Finalmente, con la implementación de una len gua de «patente2» para estimular el desarrollo de medicamentos esenciales, los innovadores farmacéuticos obtendrían un poderoso incen tivo adicional para colaborar en la mejora de los sistemas de salud de los países pobres y de ingresos bajos, "de manera de mejorar allí el im pacto de sus inventos" 18 . Desde el punto de vista de la Torre de Babel, esta lengua suplementaria para patentes sería capaz de evitar que grandes cantidades de comunidades y pueblos pobres del mundo queden excluidos en la distribución de los beneficios de la innovación médica.…”
