| It is often said that in emergencies governments much restrict the rights of citizens to protect their health and safety. Others have argued that this trade-off is a false one that can lead to loss of both liberty and safety in the real world. The speakers at this session will explore human rights in emergencies (and preparing for emergencies) and when, if ever, it is appropriate and useful for government officials to limit them for the sake of the health and welfare of the community. | |||
| Learning Objectives: Recognize a "public health emergency." Describe the rights that can be restricted in an emergency. Identify practical problems with restricting civil liberties in a public health emergency. | |||
