Reviews
This book is an essential overview for students of health and human rights, who can quickly acquire a flavor of the field and understanding of essential tools and dilemmas. * Patty Skuster, Human Rights Review *
This edited book pioneers the interdisciplinary field of international human rights law and global health governance. It argues that global governance regimes have created and built a legal framework where health-related rights are explicit, protected and are advocated for by individuals and communities across the world. * Sabine I. Franklin, University of Westminster, Medicine, Conflict and Survival *
