Publications on Health and Human Rights Themes

Bib iography PUBLICATIONSON HEALTH AND HUMAN RIGHTS THEMES: 1982-1998 Amnesty International I n 1980, Amnesty International published a short bib- liography of articles written by members of the organization's medical groups. In the years that followed, further updates appeared,with articles being included according to their rel- evance to Amnesty International's work. This bibliography was reissued in 1984, 1987, 1990, 1993, and most recently in 1997. The bibliography presented here is based on the 1997 version but has been updated to include publications from 1998. There has been an enormous expansion in the number and quality of articles and books on human rights themes in the past two decades, and this is reflected here. To make the bibliography easier to use, references have been gathered into categories reflecting the concerns and interests of Amnesty International. This bibliography makes no claim to completeness. Rather it is a selected listing of papers, articles, and books with an emphasis on publications that can be retrieved from medical or other libraries. For articles prior to 1982, see ear- lier AI bibliographies (for example, Bibliography of publica- tions on health and human rights themes, Al Index: ACT 75/03/93, September 30, 1993). A serious attempt has been made to provide sufficient information for each publication Amnesty International is an independent nonprofit organization working for the international protection of human rights. This version of the bib- liography was edited by James Welsh and Doris Basler, with assistance from Janice Selkirk.
