Three new resources on health and human rights from the Open Society

J. Cohen, T. Ezer, P. McAdams, and M. Miloff (eds.), Health
and Human Rights: A Resource Guide for the Open
Society Institute and Soros Foundations Network (475pp., with a preface
by Aryeh Neier). New York and Montreal: Open Society Institute and Equitas,

This six-chapter Resource Guide provides a practical tool for advocates
working at the intersection of health and human rights. It includes
fact sheets, program descriptions, jurisprudence, case studies, bibliographies,
and glossary definitions on six areas of health and human rights: patient
care; HIV/AIDS; harm reduction; palliative care; sexual health; and
minority health. It also contains thirteen foundational human rights
documents containing health-related provisions. Prepared by OSI and
Equitas staff for a 2007 global OSI meeting on health and human rights,
the Guide has broader application for anyone dedicated to the pursuit
of health and human rights.
