There has been a rapid increase in the pace and scope of
international collaborative research in developing countries in
recent years. This study argues that whilst ethical regulation of
biomedical research in Africa and other developing countries has
attracted global attention, legal liability issues, such as the
application of common law rules and the development of legally
enforceable regulations, have been neglected. It examines some of
the major research scandals in Africa and suggests a new ethical
framework against which clinical trials could be conducted. The
development of research guidelines in Uganda, Tanzania, Malawi and
Nigeria are also examined as well as the role of ethics committees.
Providing a detailed analysis of the law of negligence and its
application to research ethics committees and their members, common
law and constitutional forms of action and potential negligence
claims, the book concludes by suggesting new protocols and
frameworks, improved regulation and litigation. This book will be a
valuable guide for students, researchers, and policy-makers with an
interest in medical law and ethics, bioethics, customary law in
Africa and regulation in developing countries.
