On April 5, Professor Robert K. Goldman participated in a panel at George Washington University’s Milken Institute School of Public Health as part of National Public Health Week. The Human Rights and International Health Law in War and Conflict seminar explored the vital interplay between human rights law (HRL), international humanitarian law (IHL), and the right to health during wartime.

Professor Goldman offered a nuanced analysis of these complex legal frameworks, highlighting their principles and real-world applications. His insights illuminated the crucial role of HRL and IHL in safeguarding healthcare facilities and providers, particularly in conflict zones such as Gaza. By addressing these pressing global challenges, his presentation underscored the urgent need for effective legal protections to ensure healthcare access amid the chaos of war.
