attendees are invited to submit questions in advance of the seminar when they register or

emergencies?

  1. What measures may be justifiable to maintain both population health and individual

health and human rights, in settings of extreme vulnerability, such as refugee

camps?

  1. Can public health emergencies justify the selective use of public health restrictions

which disproportionately affect vulnerable communities such as migrants and

refugees?
