Lawyer Phon van den Biesen suing the government to reclaim because of the tobacco lobby. It is a case on the basis of health law, a field in attendance. Also at the Launch of Global Health Law Groningen, University of Groningen.

We kindly invite you to the launch of our Global Health Law Groningen initiative on Monday 26 January from 16.00 – 17.30, in the Senaatskamer  (Academy Building, Broerstraat 5). Global Health Law Groningen is aimed at researching international or ‘global’ health law as an emerging field of public international law.

We are witnessing a number of serious challenges in relation to health including a change in disease patterns, some of which are lifestyle-related as well as increasing health inequalities within and between states.
