Belmont Report
In Good Clinical Practice & ethics
The Belmont Report is a 1979 United States report that set out three ethical principles for research with human participants: respect for persons, beneficence, and justice. Respect for persons underpins informed consent, beneficence underpins the risk–benefit judgment, and justice underpins fair selection of participants. It shaped US human-subjects regulation and is taught worldwide.
