  • Courting Rightsby World Health Organization

    World Health Organization 2006; US$ 13.50

    Over the years, people living with or affected by HIV have sometimes successfully claimed the protection of the law. In other instances, courageous activists have challenged the law to embody the human rights protections they deserve. This volume presents 30 summaries of court or tribunal proceedings aimed at defending or securing the human rights of people living with or vulnerable to HIV. With an emphasis on cases from developing countries, this volume examines key litigation efforts to advance a ''human rights-based approach'' to HIV on three fronts: discrimination, access to treatment and prevention and care for prisoners. more...

    World Health Organization 2006; US$ 18.00

    In consideration of the increases in international travel and trade, and emergence and re-emergence of new international disease threats, the Forty-eighth World Health Assembly in 1995 called for a substantial revision of the International Health Regulations. The new Regulations will enter into force on June 15, 2007. The purpose and scope of the new Regulations are ''to prevent, protect against, control and provide a public health response to the international spread of disease in ways that are commensurate with and restricted to public health risks, and which avoid unnecessary interference with international traffic and trade.'' Because the Regulations are not limited to certain diseases, but are applicable to new or evolving disease threats,... more...

    Springer 2005; US$ 79.95

    Mit den Medizinischen Versorgungszentren hat der Gesetzgeber eine Versorgungsform geschaffen, die mehr Kooperation, aber auch Wettbewerb eröffnen soll. Nicht wenige der neuen Regelungen sind jedoch mit anderen Vorgaben des Gesundheitswesens nur unzureichend abgestimmt. Dadurch entstehen in der Rechtsanwendungspraxis erhebliche Probleme für Berater und potentielle Betreiber. Ziel des Buches ist es, diese Probleme aufzuzeigen und wo möglich, Lösungsansätze anzubieten. more...
