The ERA-EDTA strongly supports initiatives and organizations which are committed to fostering communication on ethical practices in the care of patients.

  
For this reason ERA-EDTA fully endorses:
   

the ‘The Declaration of Istanbul on Organ Trafficking and Transplant Tourism’ (http://www.declarationofistanbul.org/)
 

as well as

  
the ‘The Declaration of Helsinki’
(http://www.wma.net/en/30publications/10policies/b3/index.html).
  

These are some of most important initiatives whose mission and guidance have always being affecting the medical community and therefore can justify their claim to be worldwide.
