Having planted the seeds of the human rights-based approach in my role as United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, I am delighted to see these contributing chapters sharing the enduring results of these efforts to advance global health. This volume will be vital to the continuing advancement of rights-based global governance to safeguard the health of the world's most vulnerable peoples. It makes clear the importance of translating human rights into institutional programming for public health. Providing the first systematic account of the implementation of health-related human rights through global governance, this volume will serve as a model for future research, practice, and advocacy to advance global health and human rights.
