Executive summary
Health risks in the 21st century are beyond the control of
any government in any country. In an era of globalisation,
promoting public health and equity requires cooperation
and coordination both within and among states. Law can
be a powerful tool for advancing global health, yet it
remains substantially underutilised and poorly understood.
Working in partnership, public health lawyers and health
professionals can become champions for evidence-based
laws to ensure the public’s health and safety.
