Subsidiarity as a Structural Principle of Global Health Law
Subsidiarity, a principle of justice rooted in law and political philosophy, remains largely overlooked in contemporary debates in international law. Its central idea is that decisions should be made as close as possible to those affected, with higher authorities intervening only when necessary. 1 This approach balances local agency with supportive solidarity, promoting cooperation that is both participatory and responsive. 2
Multilateralism and the Global Co-Responsibility of Care in Times of a Pandemic
This article challenges the orthodox view of international law, according to which states have no legal duty to cooperate. It argues for this legal duty in the context of COVID-19, based on the ethical principles of solidarity, stewardship, and subsidiarity. More specifically, the article argues that states have a legal duty to cooperate during a pandemic (as solidarity requires); and while this duty entails an extraterritorial responsibility to …
Public health decisions in the Covid-19 pandemic require more than ‘follow the science’
Although empirical evidence may provide a much desired sense of certainty amidst a pandemic characterised by uncertainty, the vast gamut of available COVID-19 data, including misinformation, has instead increased confusion and distrust in authorities’ decisions. One key lesson we have been gradually learning from the COVID-19 pandemic is that the availability of empirical data and scientific evidence alone do not automatically lead to good decisi…
Intellectual property and essential medicines in the Covid-19 pandemic
Global justice theorists have widely discussed how the international intellectual property rights regime (i.e., the TRIPs regime of the World Trade Organization) makes it more difficult to achieve the goal of universal access to generic (and more affordable) vital COVID-19 treatments (including potential COVID-19 vaccines). This article argues that while patents can impose certain barriers to universal access to generic COVID-19 treatments, the T…
The Traditional Definition of Pandemics, Its Moral Conflations, and Its Practical Implications
This paper argues that the existing definition of pandemics is not nuanced enough, because it is predicated solely on the criterion of spread, rather than on the criteria of spread and severity. This definitional challenge is what I call ‘the conflation problem’: there is a conflation of two different realities of global health, namely global health emergencies (i.e., severe communicable diseases that spread across borders) and nonemergencies (i.…
MAiD in Canada and the Homo Economicus View of Dignity
Both Carter and Bill C-14 provide an interpretation of human dignity linked to and dependent on autonomy. By relating human dignity to autonomy, the Supreme Court of Canada and the Canadian Federal Government seem to support an anthropological view of dignity centered on the idea of the homo economicus. However, this is not the only view of human dignity. The author argues that a better (i.e., more pluralistic and inclusive) anthropological view …
Mitochondrial Donations and the Right to Know and Trace One’s Genetic Origins
In 2015, the UK was the first country to legalize the mitochondrial donation and replacement procedure, which allows three-parent in vitro fertilization, and results in three-parent embryos. In March 2017, the UK Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority issued its first licence for the mitochondrial donation and replacement procedure to the Newcastle Fertility Centre under the Human Fertilisation and Embryology (Mitochondrial Donation) Regula…
Doenças negligenciadas, pobreza e exclusão social
The theoretical background is the Right to Development, broadly conceived by Amartya Sen as the synthesis of all the human rights. The poverty and the social exclusion are underlined as obstacles to the realization of such Right to Development, in which the Right to Health is included. The Neglected Diseases are illustrated as consequences of the obstacles to the development, after verifying the coincidence between the geography of such diseases …
