This timely book offers a fresh perspective on how to effectively
address the issue of unequal access to healthcare. It analyses the
human right to health from the underexplored legal principle of
solidarity, proposing a new understanding of the positive
obligations inherent in the right to health. Combining human rights
law, public health and social theory, Eduardo Arenas Catalan
demonstrates that when interpreted in line with the principle of
solidarity, the right to health should be viewed as a
non-commercial right. Arenas Catalan argues that the right to
health's functions are to challenge the commodification of
healthcare and to advance free-of-charge public healthcare
services. Moreover, through a critical analysis of classical
jurisprudence concerning the right to health, the book delivers a
searing indictment of the effects of neoliberal capitalism and
commercialization on human rights. This thought-provoking book will
be of interest to scholars and students of law, in particular
international human rights law, public international law and legal
theory, as well as social and public health researchers and
students. Policy makers and legal practitioners will also find its
original analysis of solidarity in the context of human rights and
the law useful.
