National Security, Public Health: Exceptions to Human Rights? (Paperback)

The book deals with the complicated relationships between national
security and human rights, and between public health and human
rights. Its premise is the fact that national security and public
health are both included in human rights instruments as
'exceptions' to the human rights therein sanctioned, yet they can
arguably be considered as human rights themselves and be equally
valuable. The book therefore asks to what extent the protection of
the individual could - or should - be overridden to enable the
protection of the national security or public health of the general
public. Both practice and case law have shown that human rights
risk being set aside when they clash with the protection of
national security or public health. Through theoretical analysis
and practical examples, the book addresses the conflicts that arise
when the concepts of national security and public health are used -
and abused - and other rights, including freedom of speech,
procedural freedoms, individual health, are violated as a
consequence. It provides many interesting findings on the values
that states are ready to protect - and forego - to ensure their
safety, which can contribute to the ongoing debate on the
protection of human rights. This book was originally published as a
special issue of The International Journal of Human Rights.
