Welcome by Odette Lineau, Dean, BC Law School
In this panel which leads a discussion on COVID-19 and the availability of vaccines, Professor Forman asks how state obligations to secure human rights to health and science, recognized in the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and elsewhere in international human rights law, impact vaccines and treatment issues. She also discusses the possibility of a pandemic treaty. Professor Landrigan speaks to the value of vaccines to prevent disease and to stabilize societies, drawing on his decades of experience as an epidemiologist working on public health issues.
Co-sponsored by BC Law School and the BC Schiller Institute's Global Public Health and the Common Good program.
