Lancet Commission 2024: Health and Human Rights
2024
This Commission report, presented by the International AIDS Society-Lancet Commission on Health and Human Rights, explores evidence related to the state of health and human rights worldwide. The Commission report analyzes eight key domains of health and human rights: pandemics and access to essential interventions; the climate crisis and health; displacement, migration, refugees, and conflict; structural racism and discrimination; sexual and reproductive health; misinformation; artificial intelligence; and economic elements of the right to health. This report analyzes the health and human rights paradigm and calls for greater inclusion of health in rights frameworks. The report provides a brief introduction to the establishment of the UN Declaration of Human Rights and analyzes each of the domains listed, discussing the COVID-19 pandemic, the growing climate crisis, racism, and more. Using a socioecological model, it provides a set of recommendations and actions toward renewing health and human rights frameworks, considering the various factors that impact human rights and the major technological, political, and social shifts occurring worldwide.
