All Rise

Tales of Human Rights and Wrongs

By: Roger Chennells

Roger Chennells is a human rights lawyer and conflict resolver by trade. In ALL RISE, he shares encounters with a host of quirky characters balanced on the scales of justice. His captivating stories include rites of passage in Zululand, student pranks, forays into the law courts, legal work for the Pitjantjatjara in Australia, the San and Rastafarians, paranormal encounters, and service to clients ‛in low places'. He has a fine ear for mimicry and the dramatic moment. These Multifaceted tales are sprinkled with irony and paradox, conveyed through a sometimes off-beat sense of humour. And like all good storytellers, he leaves us wanting more. A collection of stories from the life and career of a human rights lawyer, with the focus more on the human condition, and with the law as the backdrop.

Equitable Research Partnerships

A Global Code of Conduct to Counter Ethics Dumping

By: Doris Schroeder,Kate Chatfield,Michelle Singh,Roger Chennells,Peter Herissone-Kelly

This open access book offers insights into the development of the ground-breaking Global Code of Conduct for Research in Resource-Poor Settings (GCC) and the San Code of Research Ethics. Using a new, intuitive moral framework predicated on fairness, respect, care and honesty, both codes target ethics dumping – the export of unethical research practices from a high-income setting to a lower- or middle-income setting. The book is a rich resource of information and argument for any research stakeholder who opposes double standards in research. It will be indispensable for applicants to European Union framework programmes, as the GCC is now a mandatory reference document for EU funding.

Equitable Access to Human Biological Resources in Developing Countries

Benefit Sharing Without Undue Inducement

Equitable Access to Human Biological Resources in Developing Countries

Benefit Sharing Without Undue Inducement

By: Roger Scarlin Chennells

The main question explored by the book is: How can cross-border access to human genetic resources, such as blood or DNA samples, be governed in such a way as to achieve equity for vulnerable populations in developing countries? The book situates the field of genomic and genetic research within global health and research frameworks, describing the concerns that have been raised about the potential unfairness in exchanges during recent decades. Access to and sharing in the benefits of human biological resources are aspects not regulated by any international legal framework such as the Convention on Biological Diversity, which applies only to the exchange of plants, animals and microorganisms, as well as to associated traditional knowledge. Examples of genetic research perceived as exploitative are provided in order to illustrate the legal vacuum concerning the global governance of human genetic resources. The main conclusions drawn from the legal and ethical analysis are: • Benefit sharing is crucial in order to avoid the exploitation of developing countries in human genetic research. • With functioning research ethics committees, undue inducement is less of a concern in genetic research than in other areas of medical research (e.g. clinical trials). • Concerns remain over research involving indigenous populations; accordingly, recommendations are provided. In drawing these conclusions, the book addresses in detail a highly pressing topic in global bioethics and international law. In this regard, it combines bioethical arguments with jurisprudence, in particular with reference to the law of equity and the legal concepts of duress (coercion), unconscionable dealing, and undue inducement.

The Inequality Crisis

The facts and what we can do about it

By: Brown, Roger

What are the causes of the rise in economic inequality in the West and what can be done about it? Inequality has at last taken centre stage in the political discourse, but there is very little to explain the inequality debates and to offer solutions for the UK. Written by an award-winning academic and policymaker, this introductory book provides a comprehensive survey of all the available evidence, looking at both sides of the inequality argument. Fully up-to-date with the latest developments from the 2017 election and Brexit in the UK to Donald Trump’s election in the USA, this accessible and jargon-free introduction is international in scope and packed with fascinating facts and quotes. Roger Brown concludes by discussing whether current UK government policies will actually help reduce inequality and offers practical suggestions for what can be done, such as raising taxes on higher earners, tougher action against tax avoiders, helping people on lower incomes to save, and reducing inequalities in education.

Indigenous Peoples, Consent and Benefit Sharing

Lessons from the San-Hoodia Case

By: Rachel Wynberg,Doris Schroeder,Roger Chennells

Indigenous Peoples, Consent and Benefit Sharing is the first in-depth account of the Hoodia bioprospecting case and use of San traditional knowledge, placing it in the global context of indigenous peoples’ rights, consent and benefit-sharing. It is unique as the first interdisciplinary analysis of consent and benefit sharing in which philosophers apply their minds to questions of justice in the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), lawyers interrogate the use of intellectual property rights to protect traditional knowledge, environmental scientists analyse implications for national policies, anthropologists grapple with the commodification of knowledge and, uniquely, case experts from Asia, Australia and North America bring their collective expertise and experiences to bear on the San-Hoodia case.
