Abstract

While international health law was conceived as a means to protect independent state interests against global health threats, this paradigm of state power is increasingly being challenged by a new normative reality – with global health policy pursued as a means to realize a more just world. In seeking justice in an increasingly globalized world, norms are progressively framing global health governance. These norms for justice, collective understandings of ‘right’ and ‘wrong’, have become inherent in global health policy. Looking beyond calculations of state power interests in global health governance, legal scholars must not ignore the expanding influence of normative frameworks for justice in global health policy.
