Responsible Use of the Non-Negotiable Safety Framework

Appropriate Uses

  • Early warning and sense-making
  • Cross-domain safety reflection
  • Research and education
  • Longitudinal observation of safety signals

Inappropriate Uses

The framework must not be used to:

  • justify enforcement or punishment,
  • rank or score actors or societies,
  • claim moral superiority,
  • legitimize coercion or exclusion,
  • replace legal or democratic processes.

Use with Care

Using this framework implies a commitment to:

  • transparency,
  • proportional interpretation,
  • openness to contestation,
  • respect for human dignity.
