Public-Private Partnerships And Responsibility Under International Law: A Global Health Perspective (Routledge Research In International Law)

Through the work of these partnerships a shift is taking place which moves some regulation of global health matters out of the hands of states and international organizations into the hands of public-private partnerships. While these partnerships may often be successful questions remain as to their international legal responsibility and accountability. This book explores the issue of responsibility under international law in the context of global health public-private partnerships. The legal status of global health public-private partnerships under international law is analysed in order to determine whether or not these partnerships have legal personality under international law, resulting in them being subject to rules of responsibility under international law. Responsibility for the acts of partnerships under international law is explored both in terms of partnerships themselves and to the partners and/or hosts of partnerships.
