We believe and respect:
- The need for the set of values, principles, moral rules, decision-making methods, rights, virtues of the person, intended to influence the conduct of researchers, to make them responsible through advantages and appropriate sanctions and at the same time to protect the research subjects from the abuses of the former, to defend the citizens from the possible harmful effects of scientific research.
- Researchers may, as people, have different religious-moral affiliations, may belong to different cults and cultures or to different moral traditions.
- Nothing can justify the imposition of a single set of moral rules to which all people should adhere in their private lives.
- The purpose of the moral rules of research is to help researchers make moral decisions in dilemmatic situations within the limits of their profession, to avoid harming each other and the researched subjects, to guide them in the direction of serving the common good combined with the priority respect due to each person , whose value is absolute: it surpasses any social goal of general interest and any achievement of scientific research as a priority.
- The purpose of the moral review of the proposed research projects is to show whether they are acceptable from a moral point of view, that is, they do not violate the moral regulations accepted in the IPA and in society in a broad sense. The evaluation process does not end in a firm choice to do or not to do the evaluated action, but only helps to make such a decision (always reviewable).
IPA pays great attention to social projects and gets involved in society, including applying the results of its own or associative research.
