Human rights are essential to global health, yet rising threats in
an increasingly divided world are challenging the progressive
evolution of health-related human rights. It is necessary to
empower a new generation of scholars, advocates, and practitioners
to sustain the global commitment to universal rights in public
health. Looking to the next generation to face the struggles ahead,
this book provides a detailed understanding of the evolving
relationship between global health and human rights, laying a human
rights foundation for the advancement of transformative health
policies, programs, and practices. International human rights law
has been repeatedly shown to advance health and wellbeing -
empowering communities and fostering accountability for realizing
the highest attainable standard of health. This book provides a
compelling examination of international human rights as essential
for advancing public health. It demonstrates how human rights
strengthens human autonomy and dignity, while placing clear
responsibilities on government to safeguard the public's health and
safety. Bringing together leading academics in the field of health
and human rights, this volume: (1) explains the norms and
principles that define the field, (2) examines the methods and
tools for implementing human rights to promote health, (3) applies
essential human rights to leading public health threats, and (4)
analyzes rising human rights challenges in a rapidly globalizing
world. This foundational text shows why interdisciplinary
scholarship and action are essential for health-related human
rights, placing human rights at the center of public health and
securing a future of global health with justice.
