Author(s): Aderonke E Adegbite and George Adesola Asonja
Abstract: This qualitative research inquiry undertakes a comprehensive examination of the ethical considerations that underpin cross-border legal research, with a particular emphasis on navigating cultural sensitivities and human rights issues. Through a systematic review of extant literature, this study elucidates the complex interplay between cultural nuances, human rights frameworks, and ethical principles that guide responsible and respectful cross-border legal research practices. The results of this study show how important it is to put cultural competence, human rights, and ethical concerns at the top of cross-border legal research. They also show that researchers need to take a nuanced and contextualized approach to get through the complicated world of cross-border legal research. Ultimately, this study contributes to the development of a more sophisticated understanding of the ethical considerations that inform cross-border legal research and provides a framework for promoting responsible and respectful research practices in this field.
