Regulating medical experiments on humans

The World Conference on Human Rights in Vienna in 1993 also raised the issue, as did WHO and UNESCO. The Nurnberg Code, laid down by the International Tribunal in its judgement of 19 and 20 August 1947, set out 10 rules to protect persons from medical experimentation undertaken as part of biomedical research. In 1992, the Council for International organizations of Medical Sciences (CIOMS) adopted "International ethical guidelines for biomedical research involving human subjects".
