To Heal Humankind
Author: Adam Gaffney

ISBN: 1351656554
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 245
Book Description
The "human right to healthcare" has had a remarkable rise. It is found in numerous international treaties and national constitutions, it is litigated in courtrooms across the globe, it is increasingly the subject of study by scholars across a range of disciplines, and—perhaps most importantly—it serves as an inspiring rallying cry for health justice activists throughout the world. However, though increasingly accepted as a principle, the historical roots of this right remain largely unexplored. To Heal Humankind: The Right to Health in History fills that gap, combining a sweeping historical scope and interdisciplinary synthesis. Beginning with the Age of Antiquity and extending to the Age of Trump, it analyzes how healthcare has been conceived and provided as both a right and a commodity over time and space, examining the key historical and political junctures when the right to healthcare was widened or diminished in nations around the globe. To Heal Humankind will prove indispensable for all those interested in human rights, the history of public health, and the future of healthcare.

COVID-19 and Human Rights
Author: Morten Kjaerum
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000411540
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 248
Book Description
This timely collection brings together original explorations of the COVID-19 pandemic and its wide-ranging, global effects on human rights. The contributors argue that a human rights perspective is necessary to understand the pervasive consequences of the crisis, while focusing attention on those being left behind and providing a necessary framework for the effort to 'build back better'. Expert contributors to this volume address interconnections between the COVID-19 crisis and human rights to equality and non-discrimination, including historical responses to pandemics, populism and authoritarianism, and the rights to health, information, water and the environment. Highlighting the dangerous potential for derogations from human rights, authors further scrutinize the human rights compliance of new legislation and policies in relation to issues such as privacy, protection of persons with disabilities, freedom of expression, and access to medicines. Acknowledging the pandemic as a defining moment for human rights, the volume proposes a post-crisis human rights agenda to engage civil society and government at all levels in concrete measures to roll back increasing inequality. With rich examples, new thinking, and provocative analyses of human rights, COVID-19, pandemics, crises, and inequality, this book will be of key interest to scholars, students, and practitioners in all areas of human rights, global governance, and public health, as well as others who are ready to embark on an exploration of these complex challenges.

Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 420
Book Description
BACK COVER OF BOOK Learn to heal yourself and others. Are You a Healer? Everyone has the ability to heal but most people do not pay attention to this wondrous skill. To heal with energy is to believe the spiritual truism that energy comes first and all else stems from it. Most people believe in the world that they see with their eyes but not the internal world that they feel with their hearts and spirit. It is your energy that creates who you are and what happens to you. Who can be a healer? Everyone is a healer. All of us are Light Beings. Each one of us holds the magical key of reaching the healer within, the part of you that is whole and always in touch with the oneness of the universe, which is what we call your Higher Self. Healing is the art of bringing a person’s energy back to a true balance. We all have the ability to heal ourselves, and others. Energetic Healing introduces you to the skills of being able to diagnose to heal; to understand the nature of Karma and Free Will; to heal without taking on the other person’s pain, energy or problem; and to heal from a place of neutral cosmic love. Healing is a very powerful skill. It is the type of skill you will get to practice more than any other skill since people seem always to be encountering one healing problem or another in life! You do not have to become a professional Healer or a full time healer to practice the art of healing. There is always some type of healing to be done. Sometimes it is a healing of a physical problem but it can also be a healing of an emotional, mental or spiritual nature too. What the Healer learns from Healing: Healing is the ability to change or shift energy. If you can shift your own energy or someone else’s to heal yourself of a physical problem you can also shift your energy to “heal” yourself of an emotional, mental, financial or spiritual problem too. Many people study Energetic Medicine, and go on in life to use these skills to improve their financial situation, to create better relationships with spouses and family members, to change outmoded, rigid or stuck ways of thinking, to clear old emotional patterns and feelings and to release physical pain and trauma in their bodies. Energetic Medicine is the art of moving energy. Once you understand that “energy” comes first and is the cause of all of your experiences you can use your skills to move the energy and learn to create your own reality. The author, Levanah Shell Bdolak, has taught this form of energy healing for thirty years, In this book she gives you step by step instructions to practice energetic healing as if you are attending a class in person.

Socialism and International Law
Author:
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0198920199
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 299
Book Description
The contributions of socialist thinkers and states to the development of international law often go unrecognized. Socialism and International Law: The Cold War and Its Legacies explores how socialist individuals and governments from Eastern Europe, Africa, and Asia made vital contributions to international law as it is practiced today, and also brought ideas and initiatives that constituted important disruptive moments in its history. The socialist world of the 20th century was an ambiguous and fragile construct: there were clear divisions between the Soviet-led Eastern Bloc, which kept one foot in Western Eurocentric traditions, and the positions of the radical Third World, primarily post-colonial Afro-Asian states, which mounted a more fundamental challenge to the international order. Far from a monolith, the socialist world was an intricate and dynamic space, which still had many shared common understandings of global affairs and the meaning of the law within them. By examining how different state socialist ideologies, legal principles, and realpolitik affected contemporary international law frameworks, this book contests existing linear and Western-dominated histories. It considers these state socialist engagements in conversation with liberal and Western approaches and underlines the divisions that existed between versions of socialism from different regions and across the North-South divide. The legacies of socialist international law are still with us today, as are the consequences of its failure. With a focus on the Cold War and its aftermath, Socialist International Law features astute commentary on the history and present-day effects of socialist principles applied to international law, provided by an esteemed and diverse group of contributors from around the world.
