Global Health and Human Rights will focus on defining the basic concepts of human rights and their links to global health. It will explore the main issues of global health; the human rights instruments and tools of prime importance to health; the impact of globalization on the health of population; health and human rights challenges UN agencies are confronted with; as well as several public health issues where global health and human rights collide (violence against women, torture, discrimination against people living with a handicap, etc.); health policy fostering non-discrimination of patients and specific vulnerable groups. The course will also include visits to or teaching by professionals from WHO (World Health Organization), UN-OHCHR (United Nations Office of the High Commissionner for Human Rights), IOM (International Organization for Migration), ICRC (International Committee of the Red Cross), among other organizations.
