This paper explores the fundamental axes that currently converge for the needs of nature and humanity. The philosophical statements contained in this reflection become valid when it comes to articulating ethical codes with the advancement of science and, at the same time, educating through an axiological system that leads to sustainable human development. In this order of ideas, it is pointed out how Western progress has led to catastrophic events for life on the planet, coupled with the excessive use of science, without any ethical criteria to regulate their actions. However, as a result of the moral reflection of recent times, of the voices of various social groups, scientific improvements have been questioned and directed towards the production of knowledge that allows human activity to be deployed positively on nature and on society, taking into account that, to make this possible, it is necessary to combine ethics, science and education, to walk towards progress in terms of sustainability.

The reality of today's society makes it necessary to introspect on the determining aspects for the generation of an education that not only complies with the expected training standards, but also that integrally develops the ethical components in students in order to forge professionals and workers who perform around the aspects of responsibility and fundamental values for the common good. Due to the above, this paper presents a reflective analysis of the importance of higher education in the current global context, and the contributions of ethics in the formative processes of the individual.

In this paper I attempt an analysis of the concept of victim of crimes against humanity. I analyze the moral epistemology of the concepts of damage and evil, in particular the notion of radical evil. I place the notion of victims of crimes against humanity in a manifestation of radical evil. I attempt to determine the empirical and rational dimensions of this concept, as well as their epistemic and ethic normativity. Once established the normative character of the notion, I move on to study some approaches to the moral reality of the victims of crimes against humanity, especially those that deny the victim's moral character. Some characteristics of survivors of crimes against humanity are useful to restore the ethical character of the notion. Lastly, these characteristics are also taken as the basis for three rights of the victims: truth, justice and repair. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
