We first explain how systemic and structural harms occur within residential aged care and outline how they constitute human rights violations. Using Australia as a case study, we then consider the limitations of court-based approaches to pursuit of redress and the current absence of redress from policy responses. We then propose an expansive and multifaceted notion of redress as reparations, where governments, residential aged care operators, medical and legal professionals, and civil society engage in ongoing recognition of harms and specific actions to prevent recurrence. By drawing on the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and the Van Boven Principles, we consider the application to aged care of the framework of access to justice and reparations for human rights violations. This framework encompasses inclusive and accessible processes to access reparations for individuals in such forms as compensation and rehabilitation, and collective reparations, including apologies and public education. In order to ensure that reparations support the prevention of further harm in aged care, the design of redress could form part of broader government strategies directed toward increasing funding and access to community-based support, care, and accommodation, and enhancing the human rights of people with dementia.","PeriodicalId":46953,"journal":{"name":"Health and Human Rights","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/de/46/hhr-24-02-071.PMC9790955.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10444652","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":"Emergency Care in the Occupied Palestinian Territory: A Scoping Review.","authors":"Raymond Rosenbloom, Rebecca Leff","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"The development of robust emergency care systems as a critical platform for addressing the global burden of disease has been increasingly recognized by global health policy makers over the past decade. A human rights-based approach to securing the right to quality emergency care is also essential to respond to the structural and political determinants of poor health outcomes. In the occupied Palestinian territory, human rights violations have contributed to significant deficiencies in health and quality of health care. In this scoping review, we identify deficiencies in the management of high-risk presentations to emergency departments in the Palestinian health care system for traumatic injury, acute myocardial infarction, and stroke. We subsequently apply a human rights-based analysis to demonstrate how structural racism in the administration of the occupation has contributed to deficiencies in emergency care. Specifically, deficiencies in resource and system organization within the Palestinian emergency care system arise due to occupation-related restrictions on freedom of movement, the procurement of essential drugs and medical equipment, and the development of a national Palestinian health care system. Further research and intervention are needed to understand gaps in emergency care for Palestinians and, in turn, to improve the management of emergency medical and traumatic conditions through capacity building of a Palestinian emergency care system. Importantly, deconstruction of the structural determinants of poor health for Palestinians in the occupied territory is needed to improve public health and ensure the protection of human rights.","PeriodicalId":46953,"journal":{"name":"Health and Human Rights","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/ce/de/hhr-24-02-255.PMC9790939.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10452147","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}

In this paper, we examine the contours and content of state obligations with regard to pandemic vaccine supply under the right to science (article 15(1)(b) of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights), focusing on three aspects of state obligations: mobilizing public resources for developing and disseminating the benefits of scientific progress in areas of public health need; preventing unreasonably high medicines prices; and international cooperation, particularly in a globalized health emergency. The committee regularly assesses state parties' implementation of their obligations under the covenant, culminating in the issuing of concluding observations, which often serve as a basis for the next round of periodic reporting by states and can thereby direct future state action. Our analysis of the committee's concluding observations reveals that the committee has inconsistently applied its own guidance on the right to science regarding medicines and intellectual property in these monitoring exercises. These findings inform a rights-based response to medical innovation for health crises and advance the Sustainable Development Goal target on medicines research and development.","PeriodicalId":46953,"journal":{"name":"Health and Human Rights","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/f4/fb/hhr-24-02-191.PMC9790945.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10444648","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}
