This course will be taught jointly by staff from the University of West Indies at St. Augustine and staff from the Global Center for Legal Innovation on Food Environments (“Global Center”) at the O’Neill Institute for National and Global Health Law at Georgetown University Law Center. The course explores the roles that the law, lawyers, and legal institutions play in global health. More specifically, it examines regional and international law and policy that directly or indirectly affect global health, including treaties, regulations, global strategies, and expert guidelines. This course provides a foundation in these instruments, laws and policies, including, but not limited to: the governance of the World Health Organisation, the International Health Regulations, the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs of 1961, the International Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights, and relevant regional instruments of the Inter-American Human Rights System.
