Description
Summary:Against this context, Foundations of Global Health & Human Rights, edited by Lawrence Gostin and Benjamin Mason Meier, positions itself clearly, making an appeal to human rights as the expression of global justice, and articulating human rights implementation through global governance as an aspirational ideal. John Tobin on the right to health under international law; Colleen Flood on judicialisation of health rights; Brigit Toebes on non-communicable diseases; Aziza Ahmed on reproductive justice; Joseph Amon on human rights advocacy; and Stephen Marks on the right to development. Others may seek out additional reading, including from spectacular scholars and practitioners in the Global South, to complicate this knowledge discourse and to understand the many fault lines and critical debates around accounts of deploying human rights in global health.
