Essential but expensive? The World Health Organization, access to medicines and human rights
Now widely accepted as a component of the international human rights framework, the concept of access to medicines nonetheless continues to generate controversial questions as to its scope and application.

Aging, Access, and the Costs of Health Care
This article explores the legality of age-related allocative decision making in health care in relation to international and domestic standards of human rights law.

Through an analysis of the changing approach of the trade union movement to the issue of ‘immunities’ and ‘rights’ during the Thatcher period, this article seeks to demonstrate…
