The Role of International Human Rights Law in Addressing Global Health Emergencies

This review paper examines the pivotal role of human rights frameworks during health crises, synthesizing findings from eight relevant papers. Human rights principles guide ethical and effective responses to crises by emphasizing transparency, accountability, and the protection of individual liberties alongside public health imperatives. Case studies, historical analyses, and policy evaluations illustrate how integrating human rights into crisis responses enhances equity, fosters community trust, and upholds essential freedoms.
