Synopsis

A collection of ten essays on legal responses to HIV/AIDS, written by scholars from five continents (Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe and America).

An effort was made to select highly-diversified countries belonging to different families of law, the countries varying in their political, ethnic, and religious backgrounds.

Review

'This book serves as a useful contribution to the sparse comparative literature on AIDS and the law worldwide and it also provides a case study for possible legal and social responses to a health emergency of epidemic proportions.'
International Journal of Legal Information, 28:2 (2000).
'This is ... a remarkable book and is highly recommended for lawyers and non-lawyers alike concerned with societal responses to the pandemic.'
European Journal of Health Law, 8.
