Anti-corruption efforts of churches need a reset
Full text linkFirst published in 2003 under the title Continue Fighting Corruption: Experiences and
Tasks of Churches and Development Agencies (Berne: Bread for All).
This work was later revised and republished in 2010 as
Corruption-free churches are possible: experiences, values, solutions
(ISBN 9782940428076). A further edition followed in 2017 under the title
Corruption-free religions are possible (ISBN 9782889314225).Trust in institutions is waning across the globe, whether in governments, the judiciary,
business, the media, or civil society - including religious and educational bodies.
A key factor is the persistent prevalence of corruption within many institutions.
Restoring trust demands a steadfast commitment to integrity, transparency, responsibility, and accountability.
This book explores the Integrity Systems of Christian churches, examining the structures, realities,
and both theological and political root causes of integrity failures. It presents insights and experiences
from Church Integrity Systems across denominations and continents, offering biblical, ecclesiological, and ethical guidance.
It includes 50 strategic recommendations with a wealth of codes of conduct, standards, and checklists.
It is a valuable and practical handbook for believers and church leaders dedicated to upholding the integrity and credibility of their institutions

Navigating the development and humanitarian funding crisis : ethical implications and strategic responses
Full text linkThis report presents outcomes from a high-level off-record multistakeholder policy discussion convened by Arigatou International and Globethics in Geneva on 5 March 2025. Representatives from civil society organisations (CSOs), UN agencies, diplomats, and humanitarian experts addressed the ethical challenges posed by shrinking budgets and shifting donor priorities. Discussions focused on rethinking funding models, strengthening collaboration, and upholding ethical principles to ensure that humanitarian and development aid remains effective, responsible, and impact-driven in the face of growing financial constraints.
Key ethical dilemmas identified included:
1. Accepting funding from non-traditional or ethically questionable donors.
2. Donor-driven agendas vs. actual humanitarian needs.
3. Prioritising whom to serve with limited resources.
4. Balancing short-term relief and long-term development.
5. Competition between UN agencies and CSOs for limited funding.
Recurrent themes included the need for decolonised, locally-led funding models, ethical governance, and sustainable development strategies that reduce reliance on aid. Crucially, the discourse emphasised transforming the development and humanitarian field by placing justice, solidarity, empathy, and compassion at its core – calling for a fundamental shift in power dynamics and value systems that shape global cooperation
Global Ethics Forum 2024 : ethical leadership for a re-envisioned future : policy report
Full text linkThe Global Ethics Forum (GEF) 2024, held from 2 to 4 September 2024 at the Geneva Maison de la Paix, marked a significant relaunch of a globally recognised platform for ethical dialogue and action. Under the theme “Re-envisioning the Future in an Ethical Multistakeholder Perspective," the forum convened over 600 participants, including 78 speakers and 32 knowledge partners from 34 countries and 6 continents. The primary purpose of the forum is to inspire ethical leadership and provide a safe space for multistakeholder and intercultural dialogue. The event facilitated critical discussions on ethical leadership, innovative solutions, and policy recommendations to address global challenges. Through these discussions, the forum advanced policy recommendations that amplified the voices of underrepresented groups and set a global agenda that integrates ethics as a cornerstone for peace, governance, and technological innovation
L’essentiel sur les droits humains et les libertés publiques en droit comparé
Full text linkLes libertés publiques sont des libertés individuelles et collectives garanties et constituent un sous-ensemble des droits fondamentaux. Au niveau interne, les libertés publiques sont réparties dans trois catégories principales : - les droits civils et politiques, - les droits économiques et sociaux, - les droits collectifs ou communautaires. Les citoyens de l’Union européenne jouissent d’un grand nombre de droits et libertés qui sont consacrés par la charte des droits fondamentaux de l’Union européenne ainsi que par les traités européens. La Cour constitutionnelle de la RDC, gardienne des libertés fondamentales peut s’inspirer de la jurisprudence de Cour-EDH et de la CJUE traitée dans l’ouvrage
Redéfinir les systèmes éducatifs africains à l’horizon 2030 : nouvelles pistes pour un débat salutaire
No full textSoixante ans après les indépendances, l’Afrique, en quête de solutions novatrices face à la crise éducative, prépare son bilan à l’horizon 2030. Malgré des avancées en matière d’accès, l’école peine à répondre aux aspirations du continent. S’appuyant sur la recherche et son expérience de terrain, l’auteur dresse un diagnostic lucide et propose des axes de refondation : arrimer éducation et développement, recentrer l’école sur les 5-15 ans, améliorer les conditions d’apprentissage et revaloriser enseignants et langues africaines. Il plaide aussi pour une gouvernance repensée, une meilleure articulation entre public et privé, et un renforcement du rôle de la coopération et de la recherche. L’ouvrage ouvre des pistes concrètes pour une éducation africaine plus juste et pertinente
Intercultural dialogue and engagement for sustainable climate action : applied research project 2024-2025
Full text linkThis report was co-authored by Nora Lucía Caro Cabanillas, Jahnavi Eluru, Sojeong Kim, and Ana Landeta Fernández as part of a research partnership between Globethics
and the Geneva Graduate Institute (IHEID)."...this research explores how intercultural dialogue (ICD) can contribute to sustainable climate action by amplifying ethical narratives, enabling solidarity, and integrating marginalized voices into climate discourse. It responds to critiques that dominant models - rooted in scientific rationalism and Western liberalism - overlook traditional knowledge, Indigenous frameworks, and spiritual worldviews (Sun & Shi, 2024; Arthur, 2011). By foregrounding dialogue as a method of knowledge co-production and ethical engagement, this study aims to bridge the gap between global policy frameworks and culturally rooted action".

Caminos hacia la inclusión : fortaleciendo el rol de la sociedad civil en la gobernanza de la inteligencia artificial : evidencia de y para la mayoría gobal
No full textTranslation of: Pathways to inclusion : advancing civil society’s role in AI governance : evidence from and for the global majorityLa inteligencia artificial (IA) está transformando rápidamente a las sociedades, y el poder para definir su dirección continúa estando concentrado. La gobernanza de la IA, que comprende a quienes establecen las normas, los valores que se incorporan y los intereses que se protegen, en gran medida sigue dirigida por un pequeño grupo de actores influyentes. La sociedad civil, especialmente en las regiones de la Mayoría Global, está subrepresentada en los foros donde se toman las decisiones críticas. Este informe de política plantea que la sociedad civil, arraigada en las comunidades y responsable ante el interés público, se encuentra en una posición única para actuar como el contrapeso que la IA necesita para beneficiar a toda la humanidad, al visibilizar la perspectiva de aquellos que se ven más afectados por los sistemas de IA.
Este informe de política investiga el papel de la sociedad civil en la gobernanza de la IA, prestando especial atención a la Mayoría Global. La pregunta de investigación se plantea si la sociedad civil sirve como contrapeso eficaz al poder concentrado en el ecosistema de la IA, a fin de garantizar que los sistemas de IA reflejen los diversos intereses y valores públicos. Asimismo, el informe busca identificar las barreras que dificultan la participación de los actores de la sociedad civil subrepresentados en cuanto al establecimiento de la agenda y la participación en los foros de gobernanza de la IA. Sumado a ello, el informe describe las oportunidades de participación de la sociedad civil en la gobernanza de la IA y los principales mecanismos para promover una participación más inclusiva y con mayor impacto.
El análisis se basa en una investigación documental y un estudio comparativo de las recientes iniciativas de múltiples partes interesadas en materia de gobernanza global de la IA. Asimismo, aprovechando los centros regionales de Globethics en la Mayoría Global, esta investigación incorpora aportes directos de redes de la sociedad civil a través de una encuesta y de grupos focales semiestructurados en línea, así como entrevistas con representantes de África, América Latina y el Caribe y del sur y sudeste asiático. Estos diálogos ponen de manifiesto los desafíos y las oportunidades específicas de cada contexto, ofreciendo aportes fundamentados en información regional. En conjunto, estas percepciones dan lugar a una serie de recomendaciones dirigidas a actores de la sociedad civil, responsables de políticas públicas y organizaciones internacionales con el objeto de reforzar la participación significativa de la sociedad civil en la gobernanza de la IA.
Este informe de política contribuye al debate más amplio sobre la gobernanza inclusiva de la IA para la implementación satisfactoria de la Recomendación de UNESCO sobre la Ética de la IA y el Pacto Digital Global
