Health Trade and Human Rights shows how a policy of 'free' rather than 'fair' trade increasingly undermines Third World health. It clearly illustrates how the looming environmental crisis combined with growing levels of health inequity will have adverse effects and details precisely how the 'basic human rights' enshrined in the UN Charter have gradually become subsidiary to the dictates of free trade enforced by the World Trade Organisation. This groundbreaking new book argues the need for impartial data-based and transnational arbitration of equity in health and other human rights - and suggests how this might be accomplished without violence to national rights with an emphasis on 'regional free trade'. Health Trade and Human Rights provides vital thought provoking information for general readers with an interest in the Third World and social welfare. Academics and students studying development international studies and public health will find it invaluable as will healthcare professionals international healthcare organisations care agencies and international charities.
Policy makers and shapers in communities and government will find the content revelatory as will political activists and those with an interest in equality and globalisation.
