 Submit Abstract
Health Law and Human Rights Forum panel sessions provide an opportunity for you to present your research, analysis and perceptions of public health law and human rights to APHA members. Presentations may focus on original research, the implications of recent US or international court rulings, treaties, legislation or regulations, as well as proposals for changes in domestic and international law. The topics listed below are intended as general categories for submission of abstracts. The final focus (and titles) of the panel sessions for the conference will depend on the abstracts that are received. With that in mind, please submit your abstract under the topic that is most relevant.
  • Health Law, Bioethics, and Human Rights Interrelationships
  • Human Rights Advocacy and the Role of NGOs
  • Human Rights and Health: Inextricably Linked?

  • Military Medicine and the Geneva Conventions
  • Nuremberg, Human Rights, and Research Ethics
  • The Right to Health (Globally and in the US)in Action
