 The University of New South Wales Initiative for Health and Human Rights
(IHHR) and Central Commission for Popularization and Education of The
Communist Party of Vietnam, are pleased to inform you of the
forthcoming*International Conference on Realising the Rights to Health
and Development
for All.*This Conference aims to further the understanding of the complex
and powerful relationships between health, development and human rights and
to propose practical ways that policies, strategies and research can
optimally respond to these challenges.

The themes of the Conference include: HIV/AIDS and other current and
emerging public health threats; maternal and child health; climate change;
and economic globalisation. The Conference objectives and agenda aim to
surface a reflection and recommendations on how these contemporary
challenges to health and development can be documented, analysed and
responded to from the perspective of their reciprocal interactions and
through human rights-based approaches in Vietnam, the Asia-Pacific Region,
and globally.

The four day International Conference will engage representatives of
research institutes, universities, governmental and non-governmental
organisations, as well as leading international and regional scholars, human
rights practitioners, health professionals and members of civil society. The
realisation of this Conference owes to the keen support from Vietnamese
leaders, The Atlantic Philanthropies, the United Nations (One-UN), The USAID
| Health Policy Initiative, Task Order 1; the Australian Agency for
International Development (AusAID); and the Open Society Institute (OSI).
