The new Code of Ethics of the World Psychiatric Association: A fresh look at the ethical issues of the psychiatric profession

This article develops the WPA's new Code of Ethics that was developed in 2020. It succeeds the Declaration of Hawaii of 1977 and the Declaration of Madrid of 1996. The Code is divided into four sections that cover the practice of psychiatry in clinical practice, education, research and publication as well as public mental health. We will discuss the new ethical issues that this Code raises in parallel with the development of psychiatry and psychiatrists’ role in society in recent years.

Une brève histoire de l’éthique et son application en psychiatrie

This article reviews the concepts and history of ethical principles in psychiatry and their evolution over time from Antiquity to the present highlighting advances made in patient rights. We also discuss the WPA's new Code of Ethics that was developed in 2020 and which succeeds the Declaration of Hawaii of 1977 and the Declaration of Madrid of 1996. The Code is divided into four sections that cover the practice of psychiatry in clinical practice, education, research and publication as well as in public mental health. We also discuss the new ethical issues that this Code entails.

Professional and Organizational Leadership Role in Ethics Management: Avoiding Reliance on Ethical Codification and Nurturing Ethical Culture.

The engineering profession has experienced some ethical cases that were rarely reported, scrutinized, or discussed because: they did not necessarily represent violations of existing codes even if they breached ethical principles; those within the organization were not prepared to take steps to address the issues or impose sanction; an/or some of the personnel associated with these cases resorted to silence to avoid being labeled as trouble-makers in their organizations and, perhaps, more broadly, in society. The goal of this paper is to heighten managerial awareness of ethical issues, interrelated ethical lapses, and appropriate responsive actions within professional engineering communities. As such, the authors reviewed recent well-known professional and organizational ethical cases including impact of leadership role and existing standards, and critically analyzed interrelated literature. The paper's case studies exemplify that because ethical issues are complex, intricate, and nuanced; bylaws are insufficient for establishing the inclusive culture for handling potential ethical situations. In fact, through what is known as the codification of ethics, it is possible that someone's conduct can totally fulfill all professional responsibilities but still be unethical. As such, ethical leadership is needed to provide the means for establishing appropriate norms so as to set the proper structures for addressing the diverse ethical matters. Perceptions about the responses of leaders to potential ethical lapses are a critical factor in formulating, changing, and maintaining ethical values at the individual and organizational levels. A leader's passive attitude toward ethical issues can be the signal for the ignored lapses to become the norm at not only the organizational level but also the society. Guided by the new Code of Ethics by the American Society of Civil Engineers, this paper aims to trigger the proper ethical behavior and expectations for the welfare of the engineering profession both in the present and future.

Creating a Code of Ethics for Open-Source Intelligence Applications

This paper investigates the ethics surrounding the development and use of applications for mapping and quantifying information, which relies on public or open-source data as a source of information. The proliferation of information-based dashboards and maps has increased as the open availability of information has improved, through open data initiatives, social media web crawling, and the development of open-source intelligence gathering as a profession. A common product where this burgeoning profession manifests itself is the creation of web-based dashboards. Popular examples of this include dashboards for tracking the spread of the coronavirus, maps for visualising world news such as conflict or natural disasters, or collaborative projects such as OpenStreetMap, which relies on community input, as well as open data initiatives to build a comprehensive map of the world. As a number of these projects cover information that is of high importance, such as actions taken by belligerents in a combat zone, or the localised identification of important historical sites, this brings into question several moral and ethical issues which must be identified. Several examples of these issues, and the ethical ramifications surrounding them are discussed in this paper in the form of a literature review. Following this, a new code of ethics is introduced based on the findings presented by the literature review. To evaluate its suitability, this new code is applied to an existing open-source information solution and compare how well it follows my principles in its development and operation.

Code of Ethics for Facial Recognition

Facial Recognition is a big part of surveillance and security in recent years. Along with any technology there are ethical issues that need to be considered when designing, creating, and using the system. This paper reviews the literature and their codes of ethics and ethical issues surrounding facial recognition to draw conclusions about the most important principles. Issues discussed include bias, collection of data, transparency, vulnerable population, security, and accountability. With these conclusions a code of ethics is introduced to improve or justify the current literature. Elaborations are made on each principle to justify the issue and inform specific ways to make the system ethical. This new code of ethics is then used to analyse the ethics around facial recognition in schools.

Facial Recognition Technology Code of Ethics

Facial recognition technology (FRT) is a tool used to identify individuals by scanning their face and comparing it to a database of facial images. In the last decade, the use of FRT has rapidly increased and is now used all around the world. This has resulted in many ethical issues caused by taking an individual’s images without consent to train FRT programs, FRT misidentifying individuals, and using FRT to classify individuals as part of specific groups based on appearance alone. Because of these issues, a new code of ethics is proposed to provide a guideline for the creation and use of FRT. The code of ethics will prevent images of individuals from being taken and used without their consent and prevent FRT from being used unethically.

Code of Ethics for Facial Recognition Systems: A Case Study

The integration of Facial Recognition Systems (FRS) in society is increasing. A key factor in adequate performance for FRS is the reliance on user data. Hence it is important not only to understand the ethical issues surrounding FRS but also to ensure that a proper code of ethics is established. This paper analyses and discusses the ethical issues with existing FRS as well as ethical conducts that are already put in place. Additionally, a new code of ethics will be created for FRS. Furthermore, a case study of a specific project involving FRS is conducted. Each principle listed in the newly created code of ethics is applied to the selected project.

Self-Regulation of Ethical Behavior: The Case of Political Parties and Parliament in Spain

Spanish politicians have attempted to respond to the growing concern about declining trust in representative institutions through ethical self-regulation and meta-regulation instruments. This article focuses on a study of Parliament and the six major political parties with parliamentary representation. It attempts to explain the reasons for adopting these new regulations and proceeds with an in-depth analysis of the existing rules, oversight, and enforcement methods in Parliament and within party organizations. As a result of European pressure, Spanish Parliament has developed a new code of ethics, but it has not strengthened internal procedures and mechanisms to bring them into compliance with the standing rules. Furthermore, political parties have developed an entire set of basic compliance measures influenced by the law on the criminal liability of legal persons. In both cases, oversight and enforcement are exceedingly weak. None of these measures has improved confidence in politicians in Spain. Two lessons can be learned. First is that without politicians’ commitment, ethical reforms do not work. Secondly, today’s new technologies, linked to a social network society, make window-dressing deception more difficult.

Dereliction, Due Process, and Decorum: The Crises of Title IX

Title IX is a crucial, and controversial, piece of federal legislation in the United States. Its purpose was to end sex discrimination, that dereliction from ideals of justice, in education. This essay is a history of Title IX from its beginning to today. It shows the necessity of Title IX, how sexual harassment came under the purview of Title IX, how legal interpretations of Title IX changed, and how different presidents administered it. Two thousand sixteen, when Donald Trump was elected president, is a key year. The Trump administration was more indifferent to trans people and more deferential to people accused of discrimination and harassment. This history shows that people opposed to discrimination, like feminists, cannot rely on the law alone. Too often the law is unstable. We need a new code of ethics, rooted in feminist principles, the “New Decorum.”

Ethics and business: impact in the field of accounting profession

Ethics was defined as "the science that deals with the study of moral principles” or better said “the science that includes all the norms of moral conduct corresponding to a certain class or society”. If we are getting more deeply into the essence of this topic, we realize that ethics can be “risky” because it can easily generate conflicts, often at the individual level. This aspect comes from the fact that the society does not understand the values of a healthy ethical attitude. Only the adoption of a healthy ethical attitude can reveal the very essence of a civilized society. The objective of the paper consists in analysis of ethical principles applied to accountants in light of the new code of ethics. Ethics is the foundation on which all our relationships are built, including our way of relating to employers, employees, subordinates, colleagues, customers and suppliers. Ethics does not refer to the connections we have with third parties, but to the quality of these connections. This approach allows a better understanding of how ethics and morality influences the business environment, especially the accounting field. The new version of the code places greater emphasis on the independence of professional accountants to build confidence in the services they provide.

New challenges of the IFAC International Code of Ethics. The case of the Republic of North Macedonia

Purpose: The main purpose of the paper is to provide empirical evidence on certified auditors’ perceptions in the Republic of North Macedonia (RNM) about the new IFAC International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants. Methodology/approach: A survey was conducted by distributing a questionnaire to the certified auditors in RNM, and the answers were then analyzed. Findings: The results indicate that the observance of the Code of Ethics affects the quality of audit engagements in domestic practice. The majority of practitioners believe that the fundamental principles are sufficiently clearly elaborated and can provide an appropriate basis for ethical conduct. The principle of objectivity is most exposed to threats, while the most common threat is familiarity. Safeguards created by the profession, the law, and regulations are more effective in addressing threats. Finally, practitioners agree that the innovations brought by the new Code of Ethics represent a significant benefit to the auditors’ mission to preserve and strengthen their independence. Research implications/limitations: The research provides empirical evidence of ethical behavior in domestic audit practice, but no similar research has been done before to make a comparative analysis. Originality/value: This research is the first of this type in RNM and fills the research gap in the field of ethical behavior in the domestic audit practice.

Philosophical, anthropological and axiological aspects of Constantine’s definition of philosophy

Abstract This paper focuses on the philosophical-ethical foundations of Constantine’s definition of philosophy, as well as its anthropological and axiological aspects. The focus is placed on the relationship between definitions of philosophy postulated by Constantine the Philosopher and John of Damascus, the latter of which traces the six classical definitions systematized by Platonic commentators. Byzantine thinkers proposed a method of unifying both the theoretical and practical aspects of ancient philosophy with a Christian way of life by interpreting the classical definitions of philosophy and dividing it into theoretical and practical parts, the latter including ethics. Constantine understood philosophy in the sense of the second (knowledge of things Divine and human) and the fourth (becoming like God) meanings of earlier definitions, with the addition of the Christian sense of acting in accordance with the image of God. In addition to these gnosiological and anthropological aspects, the paper also observes the axiological aspect of Constantine’s definition of philosophy, which appears to be a foundation for exploring human behaviour as in compliance with Christian laws encouraging changes in ethical principles so as to follow a new code of ethics, through which new values were presented to the Slavs.

The Environment of the Covid-19 is a New Physics Illness

In our opinion in the past 16 months a new mental illness showed up throughout the world, and we can safely conclude that among all the mental illnesses it rose to first place when it comes to the numbers. As a result, people neglect the way they dress, their own appearance, exact timelines, and schedules have become meaningless, and “social complacency” has become prevalent. Some specific changes in everyday life: drastic setbacks in the classic educational forms; teleworking became dominant; trips abroad disappeared; there are no more visits to relatives and friends; lack of conferences and congresses with in-person interaction; lack of public cultural events: theater, opera, performance, cinema etc. etc. People’s personalities tend to solidify between the ages of 26 and 28 and change very little after.If a serious environmental change occurs (eg unemployment, divorce, homelessness, imprisonment, several years of study abroad, etc.), if this condition is permanent and there is no possibility of close contact with the family and lasts this period lasts for more than a year, an irreversible change appears in one’s personality. The epidemic breaks down middle-aged people who have already developed a set of values and who work schedules they are already used to. People in such a situations cannot return to their old selves. This is a social, global stress. If this pandemic passes, new laws start to gaining ground, a new code of ethics may need to be written for this disease as well

Corruption in the field of international and Russian sport

The article is a response to the current scientific research of Professor S. V. Maksimov, dedicated to the problems of corruption in the field of international sports. Analyzing the conceptual apparatus, such categories as "sports competition", "organizer of sports competition", exploring the range of unofficial and official international sports events, the status of the organizers of international official sports competitions and paying attention to corruption factors in the activities of the International Olympic Committee, S. V. Maksimov, limited by the scope of his work, is forced to ignore the activities of international sports federations and national Olympic committees.
 The author fills this gap by analyzing the activities of the Russian Olympic Committee, the International swimming Federation, and the all-Russian swimming Federation. Supporting the thesis of S. V. Maksimov that athletes are the "weak side" of the Olympic movement, whose rights and legitimate interests are not properly guaranteed, the author identified the problems of mass sports in Russia, the difficulties of material and technical support for sports teams, the lack of funding for swimmers in the regions, the lack of sports schools and sports pools, flaws in the legislative regulation of assigning sports categories. Such problems are partly caused by corruption in Russian sports and generate injustice.
 The author agrees with S. V. Maksimov position that it is necessary to adopt a comprehensive UN Convention on sport and improve anti-corruption criminal law bans in the criminal code of the Russian Federation. It also seems appropriate to adopt the principles and provisions of the new Code of ethics of the International Olympic Committee, adopted in 2017, at the national and regional level.
