The Precautionary Principle 预防原则

The Precautionary Principle is the international guideline for governments to deal with potential health crisis when consensus in science is not yet available. According to “The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) – 2005 World Commission on the Ethics of Scientific Knowledge and Technology", the Precautionary Principle is defined as:

When human activities may lead to morally unacceptable harm that is scientifically plausible but uncertain, actions shall be taken to avoid or diminish that harm.

Morally unacceptable harm refers to harm to humans or the environment that is
- threatening to human life or health, or
- serious and effectively irreversible, or
- inequitable to present or future generations, or
- imposed without adequate consideration of the human rights of those affected.
Actions are interventions that are undertaken before harm occurs that seek to avoid or diminish the harm.



The PP requires that the main burden of providing evidence for safety rests on the proposers of a new technology or activity.



预防原则

预防原则是各国政府在科学尚未能达到共识之前,应对潜在健康危机的国际准则,根据“联合国教育,科学及文化组织2005年世界伦理委员会的科学知识与技术联会”, 预防原则的定义为

当人类活动可能导致道德上不可接受的危害,在科学上是可发生但未能确定的的危害,应当采取的行动是以避免减少损害。

道德上不可接受的损害,是指危害人类或环境的,
-威胁人类生命或健康
,或
- 严重的和不可逆转的,或
-对现在或将来世代不公平的,或
-没有充分考虑受影响者人权的。

采取进行干预之行动,是要在发生损害之前,设法避免或减少伤害

预防原则要求新科技或活动的提议者承担提供安全证据的主要责任。
