It analyses the human right to health from the underexplored legal principle of solidarity, proposing a new understanding of the positive obligations inherent in the right to health. Combining human rights law, public health and social theory, Eduardo Arenas Catalan demonstrates that when interpreted in line with the principle of solidarity, the right to health should be viewed as a non-commercial right. Arenas Catalán argues that the right to health's functions are to challenge the commodification of healthcare and to advance free-of-charge public healthcare services. Moreover, through a critical analysis of classical jurisprudence concerning the right to health, the book delivers a searing indictment of the effects of neoliberal capitalism and commercialization on human rights. This thought-provoking book will be of interest to scholars and students of law, in particular international human rights law, public international law and legal theory, as well as social and public health researchers and students. Policy makers and legal practitioners will also find its original analysis of solidarity in the context of human rights and the law useful"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aElgar studies in health and the law. 606 $aHealth services accessibility 606 $aMedical care, Cost of 610 $aright to health 610 $ahealthcare law 610 $asocial rights 610 $asolidarity 610 $acommercialization 610 $ajusticiability 610 $ahealthcare 615 0$aHealth services accessibility. 615 0$aMedical care, Cost of. 676 $a362.1 686 $a86.66$2bcl 700 $aArena?s Catalan$b Eduardo$01220820 712 02$aEdward Elgar Publishing, 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557301503321 996 $aThe human right to health$92829184 997 $aUNINA
