  • Summary

    Jessica M. Wyndham, Margaret Weigers Vitullo, Rebecca Everly, Teresa M. Stoepler, and Nathaniel Weisenberg, examine points of convergence and disconnect between scientists across the globe and States party to the ICESCR regarding the key benefits of science and the key obligations of states. Without widespread recognition among scientists and the public and without implementation at the level of governments, the right to science has little meaning in practice. Wyndham et al. introduce the idea that national academies of science within States party may have a central role to play in the implementation of this right, serving as an intermediary to distill and frame key priorities regarding the right to science within their national context, and providing locally relevant and feasible recommendations for how their government might fulfill its obligations under Article 15.
