Rethinking the issue of reparations for Black Americans
The differential impact of the COVID‐19 pandemic on communities of color in the United States along with the civil unrest taking place in 2020 in response to the killing of unarmed Black men and women by the police have increased awareness of the structural racism pervading US society. These developments have reraised the issue of reparations for Black Americans, usually proposed in the context of providing financial compensation for the injustic…
The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization
This chapter focuses on the human rights work of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and its interconnection with initiatives relating to global health. Embedded in its Constitution, the promotion of human rights has been a component of UNESCO’s activities across its fields of competence since the first years of its existence. Although global health is not central to its mandate, many of UNESCO’s programs…
Sri Lanka and the possibilities of achieving universal health coverage in a poor country
Sri Lanka has been lauded for providing good health coverage at a low cost despite having a modest per capita income. This article identifies the unique historical factors that enabled Sri Lanka to achieve near universal coverage, but it also discusses how this achievement is now being undermined by inadequate government investment in health services, the burdens of non-communicable diseases, and the growing privatisation of health services. In d…
The Origins and Nature of Sociality
Scientific developments have increasingly been transforming our understanding of the place of human beings in nature. The contributors to this book focus on the current status of research on sociality and the evolution of cooperative and altruistic behaviour in non-human and human primates. They examine questions related to the evolution, cultural viability, and hormonal underpinnings of human sociality in specific detail, and describe patterns o…
Evaluating the health-related targets in the Sustainable Development Goals from a human rights perspective
This article evaluates the health targets identified in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted at a September 2015 UN summit from a human rights perspective. Although there is considerable overlap in the subject matter of these targets and human rights commitments, the SDG framers did not adopt a human rights approach to the realisation of the health-related targets. This article details human rights shortfalls and their implications fo…
Global Health, Human Rights and the Challenge of Neoliberal Policies
Written by a respected authority on human rights and public health, this book delivers an in-depth review of the challenges of neoliberal models and policies for realizing the right to health. The author expertly explores the integration of social determinants into the right to health along with the methodologies and findings of social medicine and epidemiology. The author goes on to challenge the way that health care is currently provided and ma…
Assessing the universal health coverage target in the Sustainable Development Goals from a human rights perspective
BACKGROUND: The UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), adopted in September 2015, include a comprehensive health goal, "to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being at all ages." The health goal (SDG 3) has nine substantive targets and four additional targets which are identified as a means of implementation. One of these commitments, to achieve universal health coverage (UHC), has been acknowledged as central to the achievement of all of t…
Conceptualising minimum core obligations under the right to health
To prevent progressive realisation within resources from undermining both domestic and international responsibilities towards health, international human rights law institutions developed the idea that these rights hold an inviolable ‘core’ equivalent to essential health needs. Yet few aspects of this right and indeed of economic social and cultural rights have generated greater debate and unresolved questions than the core concept: Is the core f…
From conceptual pluralism to practical agreement on policy
BACKGROUND: As the human cost of the global economic crisis becomes apparent the ongoing discussions surrounding the post-2015 global development framework continue at a frenzied pace. Given the scale and scope of increased globalization moving forward in a post-Millennium Development Goals era, to protect and realize health equity for all people, has never been more challenging or more important. The unprecedented nature of global interdependenc…
Evaluating essential health packages from a human rights perspective
Many countries at all levels of development have formulated an essential health package, sometimes also referred to as a health benefit plan or a health benefit basket. As defined by the World Health Organization (WHO), essential health packages (EHPs) are “health service interventions that are considered important and that society decides should be provided to everyone.” Although EHPs are not often formulated from an explicitly human rights pers…
The Foundations of a Human Right to Health
Human rights, including the right to health, are grounded in protecting and promoting human dignity. Although commitment to human dignity is a widely shared value, the precise meaning and requirements behind the term are elusive. It is also unclear as to how a commitment to human dignity translates into specific human rights, such as the right to the highest attainable standard of health, and delineates their scope and obligations. The resulting …
The State of Economic and Social Human Rights
This edited volume offers original scholarship on economic and social human rights from leading and new cutting-edge scholars in the fields of economics, law, political science, sociology and anthropology. It analyzes the core economic and social rights and the crucial topic of non-discrimination, and includes an innovative section on 'meta' rights. The main chapters answer important questions about economic and social rights performance around t…
What could a strengthened right to health bring to the post-2015 health development agenda
BACKGROUND: Global health institutions increasingly recognize that the right to health should guide the formulation of replacement goals for the Millennium Development Goals, which expire in 2015. However, the right to health's contribution is undercut by the principle of progressive realization, which links provision of health services to available resources, permitting states to deny even basic levels of health coverage domestically and allowin…
Introduction to the Symposium
Missed Opportunities
In August 2008, the Commission on Social Determinants of Health (CSDH) of the World Health Organization published its report, Closing the Gap in a Generation: Health Equity Through Action on the Social Determinants of Health. The report integrates extensive data from a wide variety of sources on the significant role of the social determinants of health in shaping health outcomes and generating inequalities in health status within and among countr…
Health and human rights against the marketplace
Advancing health equity in the global marketplace
The WHO Commission on Social Determinants of Health (CSDH) ascribed health disparities within and between countries to "a toxic combination of poor social policies and programmes, unfair economic arrangements, and bad politics." This article analyzes the relevance of the international human rights framework (IHRF) to the Commission's goal of reducing health disparities with reference to both social scientific and legal scholarship. We begin with …
Towards an Understanding of the Right to Enjoy the Benefits of Scientific Progress and Its Applications
Both the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights enumerate a right to the benefits of scientific progress, but science is rarely addressed through a human rights lens. Nor has the human rights community systematically addressed the requirements of this right. This article seeks to stimulate the process of conceptualizing the right by offering some initial thoughts. It first revi…
Truth commissions and intergroup forgiveness
Ethical Implications of Prolonged Lives
This article explores the scientific prospect and ethical implications of prolonging the human lifespan through genetic or other types of biomedical interventions. It suggests that when a potential scientific development raises profound theological, ethical, or social issues, it is preferable to assess the implications in advance, in order to decide whether and how to proceed. The analysis underscores that interventions to increase average life-e…
Genetic Engineering and Theology
This article provides an overview of the response of religious thinkers to the challenge of applying religious values and frameworks to the new and frequently unprecedented issues posed by genetic knowledge and technologies. It explores the kinds of issues that genetic developments raise for both theology and ethics. It then evaluates the efforts of religious thinkers and communities to interpret and illuminate genetic knowledge and significant e…
