MAJOR GLOBAL HEALTH CAMPAIGNS THE JOINT ACTION AND LEARNING INITIATIVE: TOWARDS A FRAMEWORK CONVENTION ON GLOBAL HEALTH In 2008, at the founding of the O’Neill Institute, Prof. Gostin proposed a Framework Convention on Global Health founded on the right to health, published in the Georgetown Law Journal. A decade later, in 2018, civil society organizations from every region of the world launched the Framework Convention on Global Health Alliance. The groundwork for the Alliance had been laid by the Joint Action and Learning Initiative on National and Global Responsibilities for Health and the Platform for an FCGH. The World Health Report 2010 featured the FCGH, and the Global Health Governance journal featured a FCGH symposium in 2016. Stakeholder meetings have been held in Oslo, Berlin, Johannesburg, Delhi, Bellagio, Kampala, and Dhaka, among others. In 2011, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon endorsed the FCGH: “Let the AIDS response be a beacon of global solidarity for health as a human right and set the stage for a future United Nations Framework Convention on Global Health.” UNAIDS Director, Michel Sidibé urged human rights advocates to ”Join the FCGH movement for social justice.” GLOBAL COMMISSIONS ON THE 2015 WEST AFRICA EBOLA EPIDEMIC CURRICULUM VITAE, LAWRENCE O.
