Health and Human Rights Vol. 5, No. 2:
Children's Health and Human Rights
Health and Human Rights is planning a special issue on children's
health and human rights to appear in 2001. Submissions will be ac-
cepted through October 15, 2000.
Our goal is to present a wide variety of conceptual work and practi-
cal applications that will become a resource for policymakers, activ-
ists, and academics around the world. The journal publishes scholarly
articles, commentaries, editorials, profiles, book reviews, and bib-
liographies. All pieces are peer-reviewed by experts in the field.
Our most recent special issue, on reproductive and sexual rights,
presented the work of prominent scholars and activists from around
the world, including Rosalind Petchesky, Tomris T�rmen, Alice Miller,
Barbara Klugman, Bonnie Shepard, and Nafis Sadik, Executive Director
of the United Nations Population Fund. Contributors to other issues
have included community activists, scholars, and such distinguished
global leaders as Kofi Annan, Secretary-General of the United Na-
tions; Gro Harlem Brundtland, Director-General of the World Health
Organization; Halfdan Mahler, former Director-General of the World
Health Organization; and Mary Robinson, United Nations High Commis-
sioner for Human Rights.
Published by the Center since 1994, Health and Human Rights explores
the reciprocal influences of health and human rights, including the
impact of public health programs and policies on human rights, the
health consequences of human rights violations, the importance of
health for the realization of human rights, and the ways in which
promotion of human rights can be incorporated as an integral part of
public health strategies. Subscribers include individuals working in
health and in human rights within nongovernmental and governmental
organizations, as well as academic institutions worldwide.
