This session will include a provocative debate about the future of health and human rights, in the context of the HIV response. Health and human rights continue to be held by the HIV and human rights communities as a normative framework for global health, and as basis for global justice - to ensure that 'no one is left behind'. However, this paradigm is now under threat as globally human rights norms have come under attack from both populist movements and authoritarian governments. This session will provide an opportunity to reflect on the role of the global HIV response in advancing health and human rights. Discussants will speak to enduring challenges and opportunities for health and human rights, including in relation to the current context of COVID-19. The session will be moderated by Adeeba Kamarulzaman and Chris Beyrer, the Co-Chairs of the IAS-Lancet Commission on Health and Human Rights.
