This book reviews the challenges and opportunities in the implementation of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) at the regional and national levels in Africa. It contains an analysis of the relevant norms and monitoring mechanisms at the regional level, and case studies from selected African and other developing countries. The WHO has noted that tobacco use or exposure to tobacco is a major health risk factor for non-communicable diseases (NCDs). This volume highlights the importance of taking measures to control tobacco use in Africa with a view to preventing these risks. With contributions from experts from the Global South, the book provides a critical analysis of the role that human rights can play in mitigating the impact of tobacco use and NCDs, and the implementation of the FCTC. The book contains a systematic and in-depth analysis of how efforts to realise the right to health under international and regional law can help to address the incidence of tobacco use in the developing world. The collection will be an important resource for academics, researchers and policymakers working in the areas of public health law and international human rights.

How do ordinary people access justice? This book offers a novel socio-legal approach to access to justice, alternative dispute resolution, vulnerability and energy poverty. It poses an access to justice challenge and rethinks it through a lens that accommodates all affected people, especially those who are currently falling through the system. It raises broader questions about alternative dispute resolution, the need for reform to include more collective approaches, a stronger recognition of the needs of vulnerable people, and a stronger emphasis on delivering social justice. The authors use energy poverty as a site of vulnerability and examine the barriers to justice facing this excluded group. The book assembles the findings of an interdisciplinary research project studying access to justice and its barriers in the UK, Italy, France, Bulgaria and Spain (Catalonia). In-depth interviews with regulators, ombuds, energy companies, third-sector organisations and vulnerable people provide a rich dataset through which to understand the phenomenon. The book provides theoretical and empirical insights which shed new light on these issues and sets out new directions of inquiry for research, policy and practice. It will be of interest to researchers, students and policymakers working on access to justice, consumer vulnerability, energy poverty, and the complex intersection between these fields.The book includes contributions by Cosmo Graham (UK), Sarah Supino and Benedetta Voltaggio (Italy), Marine Cornelis (France), Anais Varo and Enric Bartlett (Catalonia) and Teodora Peneva (Bulgaria).

This book examines the divergent medical, political and legal constructions of intersex. The authors use empirical data to explore how intersex people are embodied through these frameworks which in turn influence their lived experiences. Through their analysis, the authors reveal the factors that motivate and influence the way in which policy makers and legislators approach the area of intersex rights. They reflect on the limitations of law as the primary vehicle in challenging healthcare's. --

The ongoing debate on the use of DNA profiles to identify perpetrators in criminal investigations or fathers in paternity disputes has too often been conducted with no regard to sound statistical, genetic or legal reasoning. The contributors to Human Identification: The Use of DNA Markers all have considerable experience in forensic science, statistical genetics or jurimetrics, and many of them have had to explain the scientific issues involved in using DNA profiles to judges and juries. Although the authors hold differing views on some of the issues, they have all produced accounts which pay due attention to the, sometimes troubling, issues of independence of components of the profiles and of population substructures. The book presents the considerable evolution of ideas that has occurred since the 1992 Report of the National Research Council of the U.S. Audience: Indispensable to forensic scientists, laying out the concepts to all those with an interest in the use of genetic information. The chapters and exhaustive bibliography are vital information for all lawyers who must prosecute or defend DNA cases, and to judges trying such cases.

In 1980-81, 43 babies died at Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children from a supposed digoxin overdose. Gavin Hamilton's research shows that a toxin found in natural rubber might well have been the culprit in the babies' deaths. He clearly demonstrates that explanations other than serial murder account for the cluster of infant deaths.

Bei der Patientenverfügung handelt es sich um ein Rechtsinstrument des Einzelnen zur Sicherstellung seines Selbstbestimmungsrechts im Zustand der Einwilligungsunfähigkeit am Lebensende. Aufgabe des Arztes ist es, die Patientenverfügung in der konkreten Behandlungssituation umzusetzen. Unterlaufen diesem Fehlinterpretationen der in einer Patientenverfügung getroffenen Festlegungen und handelt er danach, drohen ihm erhebliche straf-, zivil- und berufsrechtliche Folgen. Im Rahmen der Untersuchung konnte ermittelt werden, dass die Ergänzung der gesetzlichen Normierung der Patientenverfügung in den §§ 1901a ff. BGB durch weitere rechtliche Vorgaben wie eine Aufklärungs- und Beratungspflicht bei negativen Patientenverfügungen, eine Aktualisierungspflicht sowie eine Registrierungs- und Hinterlegungspflicht bei negativen und positiven Patientenverfügungen den Eintritt dieser Folgen ggf. verringern könnte. Es ist davon auszugehen, dass dadurch das Risiko einer fehlerhaften Entscheidung für den Arzt im Umgang mit einer Patientenverfügung zumindest in einem entscheidenden Maß reduziert werden könnte. Vice versa könnte durch die Senkung des Risikos einer Fehlinterpretation der in einer Patientenverfügung getroffenen Festlegungen wiederrum die Gefahr, dem selbstbestimmten Patientenwillen nicht oder fehlerhaft umzusetzen, mithin einer Fremdbestimmung entgegengewirkt werden und somit die Patientenverfügung dem Einzelnen als effektive(re)s Rechtsmittel dienen.
