Ethics and human rights are no longer the 'two solitudes' that did
not have much to do with each other. Increasingly, human rights
organizations are recognizing the ethical dimension of their work,
and organizations whose primary concern is ethics are discovering
that human rights is a foundational element of ethics. This section
of the WMA web site is intended to facilitate the interaction of
ethics and human rights at both theoretical/academic and organizational
levels. To begin, we offer a list of health and human rights organizations
and resources. Watch the What's New page for announcements
of additional materials.
