Decolonising human rights and global health
Black Music, White Halls
Music education philosophy has addressed issues of whiteness and racism in school music by encouraging discussions of race, critiquing Eurocentric musical practices, and identifying instances of institutional racism in higher education. Yet, discussions of epistemologies do not capture the nuance of performing multiple musics or the depths of antiblackness in music education. I begin this philosophical inquiry by critiquing notions of universalit…
How to Advance Social Rights without Jeopardising the Human Rights Act 1998
When the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights ( UDHR ) was drafted, governments grasped that human rights are needed as safeguards, not only against authoritarianism but also against the causes of authoritarianism. For this reason, the UDHR encompasses civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights. This holistic vision of human rights was obscured during the Cold War and more recently by economic neo‐liberalism. The UK government n…
Air Population over the Great Plains
Early trails through the Great Plains remind us that humans have passed through the area for many years. The area was seen as an impediment; the purpose was simply to get to the other side. The Great Plains are now often referred to as “flyover country,” a disparaging description indicating that most people simply fly over. The “flyoverness” of the Great Plains can be examined through air population, the total number of people flying above the ea…
Oxford Manual of Major Incident Management
Regrettably, no year passes without some form of major incident occurring somewhere in the United Kingdom. To the traditional threats of transport, industrial, and natural disasters has been added the possibility of a major terrorist atrocity such as the London bombings of 7 July 2005 or the recent marauding gun attacks in Paris. The international situation continues to suggest that the likelihood of further similar attacks is a question of when …
Dealing with the Media
Chapter 15 covers information on briefing the media, warning and informing the public, challenges of dealing with the media, central government media arrangements, social media, the roles of the media at a major incident, working with the media, the media communications specialist, the media liaison officer, controlling media access at the scene, casualty figures and briefings, and VIP visits.
Post-Incident Recovery and Business Continuity
Chapter 13 covers information on the recovery process, community recovery committees, structure and function of the recovery coordinating group, agency roles, handover from response to recovery, identifying lessons from a major incident, business continuity, humanitarian consequences, resistance and resilience, foreign nationals, memorials and commemorations, shelter, return, investigations and enquiries, and victim identification
Neglecting human rights
In this paper we examine the Sustainable Development Goal 3 through the lens of state obligations to respect, protect and fulfil people’s human rights entitlements. We critique some of the Transforming Our World: The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development ‘follow-up and review’ arrangements for the health goal, SDG3. To assist in this analysis, we draw from a tripartite conceptualisation of accountability and focus particularly on monitoring and…
Rehabilitation and the Right to Health in Times of Transition
The harm to health of victims of civil and political rights abuses has been a focus of some reparations programmes. Rehabilitation has been the primary form of reparation for harm to health. Is this current approach an appropriate response by reparations programmes to violations of the right to health during conflict or repression? Given the nature of right to health violations in conflict or repression, we suggest that reparations programmes sho…

The main objective of this book is to focus on a critically important part of maternal mortality and human rights viz. monitoring, accountability and redress. Accountability encompassing the local, national and international levels. The context includes the UN Human Rights Council maternal mortality resolution, as well as MDG 5.\n\nImportantly, the book focuses on n…
Deepening the Human Rights Connections
Health Systems and the Right to the Highest Attainable Standard of Health
The right to the highest attainable standard of health should be the cornerstone of any consideration of health and human rights. The content of this fundamental human right is now sufficiently well understood to be applied in an operational, systematic, and sustained manner. At the heart of the right to the highest attainable standard of health lies an effective and integrated health system, encompassing medical care and the underlying determina…

Towards the International Protection of Indigenous Peoples' Rights
This article traces the development of indigenous peoples' international activity and considers why the international indigenous movement has grown since the 1970s. The authors examine the draft declaration on the rights of indigenous peoples which is due to be considered by the United Nations Commission on Human Rights for the first time in early 1995. The article makes some general points about the draft declaration before looking in some detai…
Northern Ireland's Emergency Laws and International Human Rights
In this article, international law of human rights is used as a yardstick against which to measure the emergency provisions operating in Northern Ireland, where special trial procedures have been in place since 1973 for persons accused of terrorist offenses. In particular, the use of juries has been withdrawn, all matters of fact and law being decided instead by a single judge in the so called ‘Diplock’ courts. There are many unsatisfactory featu…
