Research Handbook on Human Rights Law and Health

Edited by Elizabeth Wicks () and Nataly Papadopoulou ()

in Books from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This Research Handbook examines the many ways in which health engages human rights law. It also explores current debates which challenge traditional perspectives of rights and identifies potential new directions in which human rights law might venture. Elizabeth Wicks and Nataly Papadopoulou bring together renowned experts who pose important questions about the limits of human rights, and the law more broadly, as new threats and opportunities related to health emerge.
