Health and Human Rights: An International Journal Vol. 6, No. 2
Special Focus: Violence, Health, and Human Rights Violence, as the  
quintessential threat to individual safety and societal stability, has  
long been a focus of criminal law, humanitarian law, and human rights  
law, but what constitutes violence within each of these contexts and  
how best to prevent it has until recently been ill-defined. Likewise,  
the health sector has long dealt with the effects of violence on health  
outcomes in a variety of settings and circumstances but has done so  
with little clarity about understanding and dealing with violence  
itself. We believe that bringing together analysis with the policy and  
programmatic approaches of these fields will work to reduce incidents  
of violence and its effects.
