Using data from 3,000 adults residing in refugee camps and surrounding urban areas of the West Bank, this study examines how deprivation, political violence, and human rights violations relate to well-being as measured by the World Health Organization-Five Well-Being Index. Nearly three-quarters of respondents (73.8%) reported poor wellbeing. Material deprivation showed the strongest association with well-being: Those reporting low or moderate deprivation had 1.7- and 2.4-fold higher odds of poor well-being, respectively. Household exposure to political violence was associated with higher odds of poor well-being with an odds ratio (OR) of 1.35, while human rights violations by the Israeli military and the Palestinian Authority was associated with higher odds of poor well-being with an OR of 1.51 and 1.72, respectively. An interaction between locality and displacement revealed that stable camp residents had lower odds of poor wellbeing, while those displaced from camps had the highest risk. These findings show that in the West Bank of the Israeli-occupied Palestinian territory, well-being reflects the social geography of inequality, where displacement, deprivation, and ongoing political violence transform daily existence into a struggle for security and dignity, rendering the right to health inseparable from the right to live freely and safely.","PeriodicalId":46953,"journal":{"name":"Health and Human Rights","volume":"28 1","pages":"85-104"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13338861/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148406144","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Employing a mixed-methods convergent design, the study integrates survey data (n = 390) with qualitative findings from six focus groups with professionals and service users (n = 36). The results reveal notable differences across professional roles, institutional settings, and experience levels. Medical psychologists consistently demonstrated more human rights-supportive attitudes, while nurse assistants and professionals in large inpatient facilities were more likely to endorse coercive practices and question the full implementation of rights in practice. Additionally, mid-career professionals and those working in smaller facilities expressed greater openness to reform and the practical utility of the CRPD. Qualitative findings further highlighted systemic barriers such as stigma, biomedical dominance, and resource constraints. These findings underscore the importance of targeted training, institutional reform, and sustained political will to align Lithuania's mental health care services with international human rights standards. Further longitudinal research is warranted to examine how attitudes toward human rights in mental health care evolve, especially in response to policy changes, reforms, and targeted training initiatives.","PeriodicalId":46953,"journal":{"name":"Health and Human Rights","volume":"28 1","pages":"125-139"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13334830/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148438365","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) provides a legally binding framework for accountability, yet the potential of the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women-the body that monitors state compliance with CEDAW-is constrained by the absence of systematic monitoring tools. This paper introduces the CEDAW Index, an artificial intelligence-supported digital dashboard designed to strengthen accountability by consolidating state reports, civil society shadow reports, and committee concluding observations. The current pilot focuses on recommendations regarding gender-based violence, with a framework designed to be extended across the full scope of CEDAW. We describe how the CEDAW Index assigns implementation status to each recommendation; tracks variables such as region, income group, and humanitarian crisis context; and integrates civil society perspectives to counterbalance government reporting. Pilot analyses of the most recent CEDAW reviews from 117 countries between 1997 and 2020 informed the dashboard's design and identified 423 laws that governments implemented or amended in response to law-related recommendations, representing 46% of such recommendations made by the committee during those reviews. We examine challenges associated with government opacity, artificial intelligence, and oversimplification, while arguing that the index offers a novel pathway to enhance transparency, amplify advocacy, and reinforce women's rights implementation globally.","PeriodicalId":46953,"journal":{"name":"Health and Human Rights","volume":"28 1","pages":"71-84"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13334706/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148438451","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Defending Informed Consent: Civil Society's Victory Against Emergency Research Deregulation in South Korea.","authors":"Young Su Park, Doris Schroeder, Orla Drummond, Ock-Joo Kim","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"Informed consent is both a foundational principle of research ethics and a human right grounded in self-determination and bodily integrity. During the COVID-19 pandemic, legislative attempts were made in South Korea to bypass informed consent and ethics review requirements for research involving patients with infectious diseases. Framed as emergency measures to accelerate biomedical innovation, the proposals sparked resistance from a broad coalition of civil society actors, including human rights advocates, patient organizations, labor unions, medical professionals, and bioethics scholars. This coalition, drawing on international bioethics norms and lessons from past research ethics controversies, mounted a coordinated public response, warning that such deregulation could erode fundamental ethical safeguards and set a concerning precedent. Their efforts helped prevent the proposed legislation from advancing in the parliamentary process. This defense of informed consent must be understood within the context of South Korea's post-authoritarian democratic evolution. Decades of civic struggle-from resistance to military dictatorship to the response to a constitutional crisis triggered by a martial law declaration in 2024-have shaped a politically conscious and ethically engaged public. This case study illustrates how informed consent can function not simply as a technical or procedural requirement but as a hard-won civil right anchored in democratic participation. South Korea's experience offers globally relevant insights into the role of civic vigilance in safeguarding human rights, especially during public health crises and emergency rule.","PeriodicalId":46953,"journal":{"name":"Health and Human Rights","volume":"28 1","pages":"155-166"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13334786/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148438367","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As of 2023, half of US states had enacted laws allowing permitless concealed carry of firearms. Our cross-sectional study evaluated the association between permitless concealed carry laws and child general health using data from the nationwide Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) Cohort collected between 2003 and 2023. Children aged 1-21 years with caregiver- or self-reported general health status were included. Secondary outcomes included child internalizing and externalizing behaviors and child stress. Regression models estimated the association of exposure to state-level permitless concealed carry laws six months prior to each outcome, adjusted for individual- and area-level covariates. One-fifth (20.9%) of the sample (n = 11,325) lived in states allowing permitless concealed carry of a handgun. Children living in these states were 25% less likely (OR: 0.75, 95% CI: 0.60, 0.95) to report excellent/very good general health and had psychological stress scores 0.21 standard deviations higher (β = 0.21, 95% CI: 0.10, 0.31) than children in other states. There was no statistically significant association with internalizing or externalizing behavior scores. Our study found that children living in states that allow permitless concealed carry of firearms had worse general health and higher stress, suggesting the need for policy changes to address gun violence as a public health and human rights crisis.","PeriodicalId":46953,"journal":{"name":"Health and Human Rights","volume":"28 1","pages":"23-40"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13334981/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148438322","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
