A Landmark Step Towards Curbing Disaster Research Exploitation of Developing Countries
Over the past couple of years the South-East Asian region has experienced numerous natural disasters that resulted in immeasurable losses of life and property. While the developed nations were prompt to offer assistance in these circumstances, there were a number of instances where foreign personnel conducted disaster related research on human subjects in the guise of aid delivery and treatment for affected individuals. The ethical improprieties that came to light afterwards demonstrated the extent of exploitation taken place at the expense of the already traumatized vulnerable populations, leading to re-traumatizing. This highlighted the lack or inadequacy of proper guidelines to regulate such research in the local setup.
