Partnerships between the public and private sectors are an
increasingly accepted method to deal with pressing global issues,
such as those relating to health. Partnerships, comprised of states
and international organizations (public sector) and companies,
non-governmental organizations, research institutes and
philanthropic foundations (private sector), are forming to respond
to pressing global health issues. These partnerships are managing
activities that are normally regarded to be within the domain of
states and international organizations, such as providing access to
preventative and treatment measures for certain diseases, or
improving health infrastructure within certain states to better
manage the growing risk of disease. In the shadow of the success of
these partnerships lies, however, the possibility of something
going wrong and it is to this shadow that this book sheds light.
This book explores the issue of responsibility under international
law in the context of global health public-private partnerships.
The legal status of partnerships under international law is
explored in order to determine whether or not partnerships have
legal personality under international law, resulting in them being
subject to rules of responsibility under international law. The
possibility of holding partnerships responsible in domestic legal
systems and the immunity partnerships have from the jurisdiction of
domestic courts in certain states is also considered. The obstacles
to holding partnerships themselves responsible leads finally to an
investigation into the possibility of holding states and/or
international organizations, as partners and/or hosts of
partnerships, responsible under international law in relation to
the acts of partnerships. This book will be of interest to those
researching and working in areas of global governance, especially
hybrid public-private bodies; the responsibility under
international law of states and international organizations; and
also global health. It provides doctrinal clarification and
practical guidance in a developing field of international law.

Have you have struggled with diets that fail you again and
again? Are you or your family members frustrated with their
attempts to lose weight? Are you certain your thyroid is
malfunctioning?
Originally created by Dr. Lisa Clark to help aid her patients
with weight management, Lighten Up, America presents a handbook for
healthy weight management through healthy living, along with an
easy-to-understand description of how the body gains and loses
weight. After working in clinical medicine for fourteen years and
spending thousands of hours discussing weight loss with her
patients, Clark knew that a handbook with the important points she
discussed every day could help people looking for advice.
Part One, "Education Is the Key," considers the secret to losing
weight and really maintaining a comfortable, healthy body weight.
It can help you learn how to balance calories in versus calories
out-the real key to weight loss. It also explores the dangers of
obesity and other health problems associated with obesity. Part
Two, "Age and Weight," addresses the life stages of battling
weight, from infancy to adulthood. Included is commonsense
information that can help you attain a healthy weight by adapting
to a healthy lifestyle. Finally, Part Three, "Motivate Thyself,"
gives tips and advice on developing discipline and making healthy
choices-not just during the weight-loss process, but for the rest
of your life. Written with honesty and humor, Lighten Up, America
seeks to educate patients on achieving and maintaining their ideal
body weight.

the life of a young waitress. His heroism that day sets into motion
a chain of events that brings him to the attention of a dangerous
and disturbed individual, threatening his career, his own life and
the lives of those he holds dear. Obsession: Because sometimes what
