Sam F. Halabi

Professor of Law at Georgetown and Director of the Center for Transformational Health Law at the O’Neill Institute. Author of work on the international regulation of pandemic response, the negotiation of the WHO Pandemic Treaty, and the law of pharmaceutical procurement and equitable access.

Halabi represents the wing of health law that is willing to treat the regulation of a global commodity, in his case vaccines, as a rights question rather than as a trade question. That transposition is precisely the one this resource proposes on the smaller scale of essential nutrients.
