Abstract
Conflict and health: a paradigm shift in global health and human rights
Highlights
The 1948 United Nations Declaration of Human Rights [1] is one such imagining, and it is far from being fully realized. The day before it was signed in Paris, the United Nations Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of Genocide [2] was passed
Health professionals around the world have been participating in the emerging discipline of health and human rights [4]
The legal complexities of health and human rights principles, and poorly formulated evidence in advancing the cause of global health, have reduced human rights arguments to lofty ideals that are widely quoted in academic circles but seldom implemented
