<p><font face="Arial" color="#333399" size="2"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt;COLOR: #333399;FONT-FAMILY: Arial;">Legal instruments and litigation as a way to enforce the rights to life and to health is a relatively new strategy that is increasingly common. We show how legal measures have been used to attain health and human rights with case examples from India and South Africa that resulted in large public-health benefits.

<p><font face="Arial" color="#333399" size="2"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt;COLOR: #333399;FONT-FAMILY: Arial;">Individuals and populations suffer violations of their rights that affect health and wellbeing. Health professionals have a part to play in reduction and prevention of these violations and ensuring that health-related policies and practices promote rights. This needs efforts in terms of advocacy, application of legal standards, and public-health programming. We discuss the changing views of human rights in the context of the HIV/AIDS epidemic and propose further development of the right to health by increased practice, evidence, and action.
