在过去的30年里，格陵兰的政治和社会结构发生了显著的变化。1979年宣布自治，给予该地区一定程度的自治，使其脱离丹麦。2009年6月，在全民公决后，格陵兰成立了自治政府，使格陵兰能够控制除外交和国防以外的所有治理领域，这些领域仍在丹麦的控制之下。目前，格陵兰的自治当局和任何研究机构都没有为合乎道德和负责任的研究行为制定全面的道德守则或准则。在本文中，我们讨论了这种法律真空的危害，并提出了向前推进的可能机会。我们认为，在格陵兰就资源开发和可持续性作出重要决定之际，制订这类守则是自治当局制定科学政策不可或缺的一部分，也是与国际社会进行科学接触的重要工具。
The last 30 years have seen remarkable changes in the political and social structure of Greenland. In 1979 Home Rule was proclaimed, giving the territory some measure of autonomy from Denmark. Self-Government (Naalakkersuisut) was instituted in June 2009 after a referendum, giving Greenland control over all areas of governance except foreign affairs and defence, which remain under Danish control. At present neither the Self-Government authorities nor any research body in Greenland has formulated a comprehensive code of ethics or guidelines for ethical and responsible conduct of research. In this paper we discuss the hazards of this legal vacuum and propose possible opportunities for moving forward. We consider the development of such codes to be integral to the development of science policy by the Self-Government authorities and an important tool for scientific engagement with the international community at a time when Greenland is making important decisions about resource development and sustainability.
