SUMMARY:Seminar Series: The Paradoxical Fragility of the Norms of Protectio
 n of Health Care in War by Len Rubenstein\, JD
DESCRIPTION:Attend via Zoom\nPasscode: Seminar\n\nMore than 150 years ago t
 he first Geneva Convention outlawed attacks on wounded and sick soldiers a
 nd their caregivers in armed conflict.  Over time the law extended prote
 ctions to civilians and required combatants to take affirmative precaution
 s to avoid harm to health workers\, hospitals\, ambulances\, and patients.
  These laws and their underlying norms are among the most widely accepted 
 elements of international law. Yet the persistence and severity of violenc
 e of health care in war not only shows widespread noncompliance but sugges
 ts that competing\, sometimes unarticulated\, norms are employed to ration
 alize the violence.  \n\nLeonard Rubenstein is a lawyer whose work focus
 es on health and human rights\, especially the protection of health in arm
 ed conflict and the roles of health professionals in human rights. A core 
 member of the Berman Institute of Bioethics\, he has a joint appointment
  in the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health\, where he is Dire
 ctor of the Program on Human Rights\, Health and Conflict at the Center fo
 r Public Health and Human Rights. and a core faculty member of the Johns H
 opkins Center for Humanitarian Health. \n\nPrior to coming to Johns Hopki
 ns\, he served as Executive Director and then President of Physicians for 
 Human Rights\, as a Jennings Randolph Senior Fellow at the United States I
 nstitute of Peace\, and as Executive Director of the Bazelon Center for Me
 ntal Health Law.
