Abstract
  • The 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) (Fig 1), establishing a human rights foundation under the United Nations (UN), has become a cornerstone of global health, central to public health policies throughout the world. As the world commemorates the 75th anniversary of the UDHR on 10 December, this “Human Rights Day” celebration arrives at a critical juncture for human rights in global health, raising an imperative for World Health Organization (WHO) reforms (Fig 2) to strengthen the right to health and health-related human rights.
