We are pleased to announce that Issue 14.1 of Health and Human Rights, published by the FXB Center for Health and Human Rights at Harvard University, is now live at hhrjournal.org. As editor-in-chief Paul Farmer notes in his letter from the editor<http://hhrjournal.org/index.php/hhr/article/view/487/767&gt;, a number of papers in this issue help develop normative frameworks and legal recourse to ensure accountability of health care delivery initiatives around the globe. We encourage readers to share and discuss these important articles.

We are currently accepting submissions for our forthcoming issue, which will launch in December 2012. Please visit our website for author guidelines<http://hhrjournal.org/author-guidelines.php&gt;and information on how to submit <http://hhrjournal.org/index.php/hhr/about/submissions&gt;\.
