| It has been nearly a decade since the pioneering work of Jonathan Mann that linked health and human rights. Since that time many researchers and public health practitioners have expanded the understandings of how health and human rights impact and relate to one another. In this session presenters will give an overview of the theoretical and legal underpinnings the right to health and other health related rights. The major international documents outlining the right to health will be described. The human rights field pays special attention to the vulnerable populations and the protection of these groups will be given examined. Additionally several examples of the use of rights based approaches in public health programming will be presented. | |||
| Learning Objectives: By the end of this session participants will be able to: 1. Identify the major international human rights treaties which include a right to health and other health related rights; 2. Identify vulnerable populations protected by international human rights treaties and their importance for public health programming; and 3. Describe examples of the means and methods utilized in rights based approaches to public health. | |||
