Health and human rights are located at a complex nexus in international affairs. The ability of people to enjoy optimal health is influenced by diverse structures in this international system including: trade agreements, patent regulations, visa regimes, refugee law, international development assistance, environmental regulations, human rights treaties, and UN initiatives like the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This international and interdisciplinary panel gathers three health and human rights scholars who will tackle the question: How well do institutions and practitioners of global affairs and governance address the challenge of securing the right to health?
