• Description:
This book explores the global transmission of infectious diseases and the need for a more developed legal framework in international public health. It focuses on:
• The role of compulsory licensing under the TRIPS Agreement to provide access to medicines in emergencies
• The precautionary approach (PA) and risk analysis to interpret TRIPS flexibilities for public health benefits
• The complementary roles of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the World Trade Organization (WTO) in promoting harmonization regarding the patenting of critical pharmaceutical products
The work blends international trade law, intellectual property law, and risk management, offering insights on how States can navigate legal obligations while maintaining sovereignty in issuing compulsory licenses during public health crises.
This book is particularly valuable for students and academics in medical and healthcare law, intellectual property law, international trade law, and human rights law.
