UGAT CODE OF ETHICS

An anthropologist must be scientifically objective (truthful) and relevant to national and community goals; sincere to this host community and obliged to explain to them the objectives and implications of his research; to listen to criticism by his host community of the research he has conducted; and eventually to provide them a copy of his work, ideally in their language, for the host community is the final arbiter of the validity of his work.

An anthropologist doing research has the obligation to make available the results of host research data not only to the host community, but also to the larger community.

The anthropologist has the right and the obligation to criticize unethical practices of fellow anthropologists and other individuals and institutions that affect the practice of anthropology.
