The topic that I will be dealing with today is one of great importance to the law and human rights, especially because we are moving into a technology-dominated age. We are at the closing phase of the twentieth century and, as we move into the twenty-first century, we will see technology playing an increasingly important role in every facet of the international and national lives of the people of that century. We must therefore anticipate some of the grave problems that advances in technology will pose for the disciplines of law and human rights. In fact, it already appears to lawyers who are now taking an increasing interest in this topic, that while science and technology are racing ahead, law and human rights are looking on helplessly from the sidelines because there is very little that they can do to match the speed of technology. Law moves very slowly, while technology moves with lightning rapidity. The result is that technology is racing out of legal control. In consequence, there can be grave damage to human rights as well. It is possible to look at technology in a kind of panoramic survey and see that almost every aspect of our lives is influenced by technology. Perhaps it could be compartmentalized in three great sectors.

1. The impact on the human body, because there are so many biomedical advances these days that tamper with the essentials, the fundamentals of being human;

2. The human environment;

3. The human society.
