Remigius N. Nwabueze is a Senior Lecturer in Law at the University of Southampton. His research interests are in the areas of property law (equity and trust), intellectual property law, law and the human body, medical/health care law, bioethics and customary law. He has published widely on these and related areas.
This study argues that whilst ethical regulation of biomedical research in Africa and other developing countries has attracted global attention, legal liability issues, such as the application of common law rules and the development of legally enforceable regulations, have been neglected. It examines some of the major research scandals in Africa and suggests a new ethical framework against which clinical trials could be conducted. The development of research guidelines in Uganda, Tanzania, Malawi and Nigeria are also examined as well as the role of ethics committees.
