As a professional organization with the pursuit of knowledge and education as its primary aims, AIB must ensure trust and confidence in its membership through self-regulation that is consistent with scientific integrity and universally recognized ethical norms. AIB must also ensure that its members are treated ethically in the context of AIB matters, activities, and structures. The AIB Code is grounded on the following assumptions: Scholarly integrity is the cornerstone of impactful research, and a necessary condition for the advancement of knowledge. Respect for persons is the cornerstone of internationally recognized ethical norms such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Labor Organization standards. Self-regulation can only take place with clearly articulated standards, procedures, and consequences for misconduct. 3
