The member states of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) decided in 2002 that ethics is one of the five priority areas of the organization. This article describes three categories of past and current activities in the ethics of science and technology, in particular bioethics. The first category is the global standard setting with the Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights as the most recently adopted normative instrument. The second category focuses on capacity building in order to enable member states to apply the provisions of the declarations, through, for example, the establishment of national bioethics committees, the introduction of ethics teaching programs, and drafting of legislation and guidelines. The final category of activities is awareness raising through publications, events, and conferences. The challenges and difficulties UNESCO may face in its various activities are highlighted.
联合国教育、科学及文化组织（教科文组织）的成员国于2002年决定，伦理是该组织的五个优先领域之一。本文描述了科技伦理，特别是生物伦理方面过去和当前的三类活动。第一类是制定全球标准，《生物伦理与人权普遍宣言》是最近通过的规范性文书。第二类侧重于能力建设，以使成员国能够通过例如设立国家生物伦理委员会、引入伦理教学计划以及起草立法和准则来应用宣言的条款。最后一类活动是通过出版物、活动和会议提高认识。文中强调了教科文组织在其各项活动中可能面临的挑战和困难。
