German term

Zustimmungskriterium

German to English Social Sciences Science (general) risk ethics
This is a document about the possible risks of nanotechnology. The context is:
"Wäre nur Handeln zulässig, das andere keinem Risiko aussetzt, führte das zu einer allgemeinen Handlungsblockade, die ein gesellschaftliches Zusammenleben verunmöglichen würde – und das kann nicht im Interesse des einzelnen sein. Das erklärt auch, warum einige der einschlägigen risikoethischen Kriterien als allgemeine Kriterien für Risikoexposition unplausibel sind. Dies betrifft beispielsweise das Maximin-Kriterium und das Zustimmungs-Kriterium."

consent criterion

I don't know if there is an official translation for this in English, but "consent criterion" comes to mind after reading the definition on Wikipedia. Of course, "criterion" is kind of straightforward here and "Zustimmung" is the real kicker. I'm sure more options will come around, so wait and see!
