Abstract

Global health law in theory and practice can either work to ameliorate the devastating consequences of colonialism, class hierarchies, and structural racism in health, or it can ratify and exacerbate them. It can protect, under protect, overprotect, or fail to protect - it is not and cannot be neutral. Global health law reflects the choices and practices of States and other actors, which includes both action and inaction. Inaction or silence on the part of global health law is a choice that ratifies the status quo of coloniality, class exploitation, and structural racism in health.

关于全球卫生法中非殖民化必要性的思考。

在理论和实践中，全球卫生法既可以减轻卫生领域的殖民主义、阶级等级和结构性种族主义的破坏性后果，也可以批准和加剧这些后果。它可以保护、不受保护、过度保护或不保护——它不是也不可能是中立的。全球卫生法反映了国家和其他行为者的选择和做法，包括采取行动和不采取行动。全球卫生法方面的不作为或沉默是一种选择，它承认了卫生领域的殖民主义、阶级剥削和结构性种族主义现状。
