Establishment, on both the national and international levels, of machinery to assess new technologies, to give warning of possible dangers to human rights which they may present and possible even to control new developments if threats to human rights seem likely has also been proposed. A function of international machinery would be to call the attention of government which has no national machinery to the need for it, to assist governments in establishing appropriate machinery and to provide the international structure to support it.For achieving the better meaningful human life, collaboration among the members of the global village and scientific community may become more useful if a clear sense of common purpose can be agreed in setting up ethical guidelines for scientific, technological research, development and its protection. There is a widespread feeling that the explosion of scientific knowledge and of its technological application which has taken place in recent decades has made the world merely a global village. However, there are a few common problems which are continuing in the global village specially treated to better living conditions for the human beings. For example, protection of the intellectual property rights, reducing international tension, and common use of natural resources like oceans particularly for land locked countries, basic human rights and its discriminatory clauses are the vital aspects of the law. These problems are alike in the global village. An attempt has been made to discuss these aspects in a suggestive manner. Role of the legislature, judges and lawyers has also been held highly responsible in shaping and reshaping of their society and social structure. Finally, it is felt that the contribution of each and everyone will ultimate enhance the enjoyment of living of millions, the right to an adequate standard of living and dignity of human beings as guaranteed in all the basic documents relating to the human rights and fundamental freedoms.
