Abstract

In The Relationship between Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and International Humanitarian Law , Amrei Müller offers a detailed analysis of the legal consequences of the parallel application of economic, social and cultural (ESC) rights and international humanitarian law (IHL) to non-international armed conflicts. With a focus on health related issues, the book covers important topics like the scope of limitations to and derogations from ESC rights, questions related to the integration of the right to health in military-target decisions, states’ obligations to mitigate the adverse public health impact of armed conflicts and obligations relating to the provision of humanitarian assistance. It moves the discussion about the parallel application of IHL and human rights to a new level, highlighting its potential to enhance the protection of people affected by armed conflicts but also the difficulties involved.

Abstract

The idea that there is such a thing as a human right to health has become pervasive. It has not only been acknowledged by a variety of international law documents and thus entered the political realm but is also defended in academic circles. Yet, despite its prominence the human right to health remains something of a mystery - especially with respect to its philosophical underpinnings. Addressing this unfortunate and intellectually dangerous insufficiency, this book critically assesses the stipulation that health is a human right which - as international law holds - derives from the inherent dignity of the human person. Scrutinising the concepts underlying this stipulation (health, rights, dignity), it shall conclude that such right cannot be upheld from a philosophical perspective.

Abstract

The link between health and human rights has been recognised for many years, but the increasing visibility of the right to health in international law has been a distinct feature of the last decade. It has been embraced by actors within civil society, academics, health professionals, lawyers and courts in several jurisdictions as a tool to address health inequalities at the local and global level, in matters ranging from access to medicines and the availability of affordable healthcare to sexual and reproductive health. But it has equally been the subject of derision and scorn by human rights

Abstract

Eine Politik der Gesundheitsförderung wirft Fragen der sozialen Gerechtigkeit und des Schutzes der individuellen Selbstbestimmung auf. Gesundheit und Gesundheitsverteilung hängen nicht nur von der medizinischen Versorgung ab. Sobald der Sozialstaat im Sinne einer Public Health-Politik auch die sozialen Determinanten von Gesundheit und Krankheit zu beeinflussen versucht, treten allerdings normative Probleme auf, die bisher aus rechtsphilosophischer Sicht kaum diskutiert worden sind: Ob und inwieweit besteht tatsächlich eine Verpflichtung, die sozialen Gesundheitsungleichheiten zu verringern? Und führt die Regulierung des individuellen Gesundheitsverhaltens nicht zu einem paternalistischen Bevormundungsstaat? Das Buch diskutiert diese Fragen aus rechtsphilosophischer Sicht. Es ist für Juristen, Gesundheitswissenschaftler und Gesundheitspolitiker von Bedeutung, die an einer Reflexion der Prinzipien von Public Health interessiert sind. Der Autor ist als Jurist und Rechtsphilosoph mit zahlreichen Veröffentlichungen zu normativen Fragen der Gesundheitspolitik hervorgetreten.

Abstract

What impact can social work make on inequalities in health? Social Work, Health and Equality opens up a new direction in the practice and theory of social work. Focussing on the profound human suffering which arises from social inequalities in health, it: * shows how social work can make a significant contribution to creating more equal experiences of health and illness * describes the major shifts in conceptualisation, practice and organisation necessary to bring about change. The authors explore these questions in relation to four key aspects of health; health maintenance, illness at home, hospitalisation, and facing death. Grounding the text in everyday lived experience, they show how social work must change its discourse and its practice if it is to respond effectively to the challenges of its new role in tackling health issues.
