This course will explore how international human rights and humanitarian laws and norms impact public health in times of armed conflict and in peacetime, and how health policies and practices may help promote human rights or potentially violate them. We will examine a wide range of topics including the role of health and legal professionals in documenting the health consequences of war crimes and human rights abuses; treating survivors of torture and sexual violence; addressing the special health and human rights concerns of vulnerable groups, including children, human trafficking survivors, and prisoners; and resolving conflicts between civil liberties and public health policies during epidemics. We will also examine the role of international humanitarian organizations in armed conflict, and health and human rights impacts of climate change and environmental degradation.
The course is offered through the UC Berkeley School of Public Health and School of Law.
