In the draft resolution, paragraph 4, replace the words " the United Nations to set up a global committee" with the following words:
"Unesco in setting up the World Commission on the Ethics of Scientific Knowledge and Technology (COMEST)".
The rapporteur refers to the exact name of COMEST set up by Unesco in 1998. The mandate of COMEST has evolved and today covers four major topics establishing stronger links between science, technologies and sustainable development:
1) Ethics and Climate Change
2) Science Ethics
3) Development Ethics
4) Ethics of Nanotechnologies and Converging Technologies
