*Is Health a Human Right? The European Perspective*

*October 28, 2014*

6:15-9:00 pm

Second Floor, Common Room (East Campus), The Heyman Center for the
Humanities

(See below for Directions)



*Co-Sponsored by ICLS, The Heyman Center, ISHR, The Program in Hellenic
Studies*


 After a short introduction where Mr. Panayotis Yatagantzidis will present
some tentative definitions of the concept of human rights as delineated in
different schools of thought, he will move towards a constitutional
cartography of the right to health in nations-members of the European
Union. From within that perspective he will examine the international
protection provided by the Treaty of the EU and the European Declaration of
Human Rights and he will analyze the existing international legal
discourse. He will locate the limits of protection provided by the existing
legal framework in the EU, and with a commitment to the social welfare
state and the principles of Democracy, he will arrive at a number of
conclusions that will envelope within them the protection of health.
