global ethic
concept
A global ethic was promoted as a shared moral code for everyone, but it ended up as an internal rulebook for UN staff.
Who they are
Hans Küng, a founder who called for a global ethic in the early 2000s.
What they do
The push for a global ethic led to the creation of a UN Ethics Office in 2005, which enforces an ethics code for all UN employees.
How it works
Küng's calls for a global ethic through the early 2000s eventually led to the UN Ethics Office. The office is in charge of the ethics code that applies to all UN employees. Küng also authored the framework and pushed the ethic through Global Ethics. A 2005 document on 'Global Ethic and Human Responsibilities' by Küng states: 'There can be no new world order without a world ethic, a global ethic.'
Why it matters
It shows how a call for a universal moral code became a workplace ethics code for one organization, not a global law.
The engine's record — word for word
The corpus records: "And though he didn’t participate in the 2000 Earth Charter he might as well have, as his calls for a global ethic through the early 2000s eventually led to the creation of a UN Ethics Office in 2005 , in charge of the ethics code which applies to all UN employees ." It is presented publicly as: "And to - yet again - hammer all this home, from the 2005 document on ‘ Global Ethic and Human Responsibilities ‘ 9 by Hans Kung - ‘ There can be no new world order without a world ethic, a global ethic. ‘" Documents named in the corpus: Declaration Toward a Global Ethic; Towards a Global Ethic; 2005 World Summit Outcome (A/RES/60/1); Earth Charter; UN Ethics Office; Global Ethic Foundation.
