Reflections on Decolonial Imperatives in Global Health Law

"Reflections on Decolonial Imperatives in Global Health Law" by Professor Matiangai Sirleaf posits that global health law in theory and practice can either work to ameliorate the devastating consequences of colonialism, class hierarchies, and structural racism in health, or it can ratify and exacerbate them. Inaction or silence on the part of global health law, she argues, is a choice that ratifies the status quo of coloniality, class exploitation, and structural racism in health. Published in the Journal of Law, Medicine & Ethics.
