Abstract
According to the International Guiding Principles for Biomedical Research Involving Animals (CIOMS 1985), because of differing legal systems and cultural backgrounds, there are varying approaches to the use of animals for research, testing, and training in different countries. Nonetheless, the use of animals should at all times be in accord with humane practices. The varying approaches in different countries to the use of animals for biomedical purposes, and the lack of relevant legislation or of formal self-regulatory mechanisms in some countries, point to the need for international guiding principles that are the result of international and interdisciplinary consultations.
