Does human rights law work? This book engages in this heated debate
through a detailed analysis of thirty years of the right to health
- perhaps the most complex human right - in Brazil. Are Brazilians
better off three decades after the enactment of the right to health
in the 1988 Constitution? Has the flurry of litigation experienced
in Brazil helped or harmed the majority of the population? This
book offers an in-depth analysis of these complex and controversial
questions grounded on a wealth of empirical data. The book covers
the history of the recognition of health as a human right in the
1988 Constitution through the Sanitary Movement's campaign and the
subsequent three decades of what Ferraz calls the politics and
judicialization of health. It challenges positions of both
optimists and sceptics of human rights law and will be of interest
to those looking for a more nuanced analysis.
