International and Global Health Law
View through CrossRef
International health law and global health law comprise a rather new field of academic study. Most broadly, this field encompasses all international legal arrangements pertinent to health—international environmental law, humanitarian and human rights law, trade and labor law, laws relating to arms control, and so on. More narrowly, it incorporates only international legal systems targeting health threats. The two most prominent examples are the International Health Regulations (IHR), focused on infectious diseases, and WHO’s Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC), concerned with chronic diseases. The PG/SHG approach reaches beyond international health law to offer a normative global health law theory. It sees human flourishing as global society’s end goal and proposes an ethical demand for health equity as the criterion for evaluating global health law. Realizing this ethical goal will likely require legal instruments, but, more fundamentally, it will require public moral norms.
