This conference will address three crucial questions of global health governance. It will consider, first, whether and how the ailing global public health infrastructure might be reinvigorated; second, how the pandemic has threatened and exposed limitations of the social safety net in the United States and other economies around the world; and, finally, the phenomenon of vaccine refusal and what national and international legal institutions might do to curb it.
The Dean Rusk International Law Center and the Georgia Journal of International and Comparative Law at the University of Georgia School of Law will host a daylong, virtual conference to explore these developments on Monday, January 25, 2021. The conference will feature a keynote speech.
Experts from academia and the practice will present on panels. Presentations will be published in the Georgia Journal of International and Comparative Law.
