ABSTRACT
The ICOM Code of Professional Ethics was adopted unanimously by the 15th General Assembly of ICOM meeting in Buenos Aires, Argentina on 4 November 1986.
It provides a general statement of professional ethics, respect for which is regarded as a minimum requirement to practise as a member of the museum profession. In many cases it will be possible to develop and strengthen the Code to meet particular national or specialized requirements and ICOM wishes to encourage this. A copy of such developments of the Code should be sent to the Secretary General of ICOM, Maison de l’Unesco, 1 Rue Miollis, 75732 Paris Cedex 15, France.
