The first part will cover, in a descriptive manner, the practice of international assistance, including the difference between health development and medical relief, and the global AIDS response as an ad hoc paradigm. The second part will cover, in a more prescriptive manner, how the practice of international assistance for global health should evolve in the light of the right to health.
