Strengthening Human Rights to Respond to Pandemic Threats (World Health Assembly Side Event)

This webinar addresses debates in the World Health Assembly on the human rights impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and human rights strengthening in global health governance. Human rights law is central to the COVID-19 response, with this webinar engaging with human rights frameworks to address pandemic threats. Arising out of the human rights analysis of the Independent Panel on Pandemic Preparedness & Response (IPPPR), this panel discussion supports those seeking to reform the World Health Organization (WHO) to strengthen global health and human rights. The discussion focuses on the contemporary importance of human rights to global health governance, with presentations on the: human rights impacts of the COVID-19 response (Judith Bueno de Mesquita, University of Essex) harmonization of international human rights law and global health law (Timothy Fish, International Commission of Jurists); mainstreaming of human rights in WHO governance (Benjamin Mason Meier, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill); and practical implementation of human rights in revisions of global health law (Sharifah Sekalala, University of Warwick). This webinar provides an overview of human rights in global health, assesses the human rights implications of COVID-19, and examines prospects in the World Health Assembly for strengthening global health law and governance to face future pandemic threats.
