A profession is considered to be ethical by its very nature. Hence, the ability to structure a set of principles that gives one a way to discuss the issues is crucial. However, numerous variables--such as culture, tradition of law, and stage of technological development of a Nation-State--confound issues in which principles may occasionally clash. There may not always be a right and wrong. Hence, for an international organization, a clear explanation of rules will be critical in the development of a code of ethics.
从本质上讲，一种职业被认为是合乎道德的。因此，构建一套原则以便人们能够讨论相关问题的能力至关重要。然而，众多变量——诸如文化、法律传统以及民族国家的技术发展阶段——会使原则偶尔发生冲突的问题变得错综复杂。并非总是存在对与错。因此，对于一个国际组织而言，清晰地解释规则对于制定道德准则至关重要。
