That everyone has a human right to enjoy the benefits of the
progress of science and its applications comes as a surprise to
many. Nevertheless, this right is pertinent to numerous issues at
the intersection of science and society: open access; 'dual use'
science; access to ownership and dissemination of data, knowledge,
methods and the affordances and applications thereof; as well as
the role of international co-operation, human dignity and other
human rights in relation to science and its products. As we advance
towards superintelligence, quantum computing, drone swarms, and
life-extension technology, serious policy decisions will be made at
the national and international levels. The human right to science
provides an ideal tool to do so, backed up as it is by
international law, political heft, and normative weight. This book
is the first sustained attempt at turning this wonder of foresight
into an actionable and justiciable right. This title is also
available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
