National Security, Public Health: Exceptions to Human Rights?

National Security, Public Health: Exceptions to Human Rights? examines the complicated relationships between national security and human rights, and between public health and human rights. Through theoretical analysis and practical examples the book addresses the conflicts that arise when the concepts of national security and public health are used – and abused – and other rights, such as freedom of speech, procedural freedoms, and individual health, amongst others, are violated as a consequence. This book was originally published as a special issue of The International Journal of Human Rights.
