Description

Health and human rights are inextricably linked. This course examines the relationship between health and human rights, including (1) human rights violations that result in ill health, (2) human rights promotion that benefits health, and (3) health promotion that benefits human rights. Through these relationships the course illustrates the common goals and strategies of the health and human rights communities which both seek to advance the wellbeing of individuals, communities and populations. Much of the course focuses specifically on the right to health, its definition, normative content and methods of implementation. the course uses case studies from around the globe to consider the value of incorporating human rights generally and the right to health specifically into law, policymaking, programming and practice. Students prepare a final project by selecting one health issue and exploring frameworks, strategies and tools to address it from a human rights-based perspective.
